Abstract: A decorative illuminated article for producing a deep glow in darkness includes an elongated body of thick-walled cast plastic resin with an inner tubular channel extending longitudinally throughout the length of the cast body. Within the tubular channel is positioned a neon or similar light source. The plastic resin includes a pigment which will produce, in combination with the color of the inner light source, a deep glowing color effect when the article is illuminated in darkness. A method for producing the decorative article is also disclosed.
