  • Publication number: 20070008717
    Abstract: A lighted assembly includes a support having a wall and a light assembly with a light source and a body, which includes a light emitting surface. The light source is coupled to the body and is adapted for coupling to a power source for powering the light source. When powered light from the light source is directed into the body and is directed from the body through the light emitting surface. The support includes a corresponding recess formed in the wall, with the light assembly being mounted in the recess and facing outwardly from the support to thereby direct light outwardly from the support.
