Attorney, Agent or Firm: Clayton, Howarth & Cannon, P.C.

An apparatus and method of lighted ground curbing, flatwork and other structures having a recessed channel formed therein for receiving a length of flexible sheathed lighting. The separately sheathed lighting is adequately protected independent of the curbing, flatwork or other structure, and is powered by a power source residing separately and independently of the curbing, to thereby eliminate any need for electrical sockets or protective covering to be included as part of the curbing or flatwork portion. The lighting operates to project a substantially continuous stream of light extending continuously along the recess formed in the curbing, flatwork or other structure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide lighted curbing which is simple in design and manufacture.
It is another object of the present invention, in accordance with one aspect thereof, to provide such lighted curbing wherein the lighting is easier to remove and install and with reduced risk of breaking the lighting.
It is a further object of the present invention, in accordance with one aspect thereof, to provide lighted curbing wherein the lighting is flexible and more durable.
It is an additional object of the present invention, in accordance with one aspect thereof, to provide lighted curbing wherein the lighting is spaced to achieve a substantially continuous array of projecting light.
The above objects and others not specifically recited are realized in a specific illustrative embodiment of an apparatus and method of lighted ground curbing, flatwork and other structures having a recessed channel formed therein for receiving a length of flexible sheathed lighting.
The separately sheathed lighting is adequately protected independent of the curbing, flatwork or other structure, and is powered by a power source residing separately and independently of the curbing, to thereby eliminate any need for electrical sockets or protective covering to be included as part of the curbing or flatwork portion.
The lighting operates to project a substantially continuous stream of light extending continuously along the recess formed in the curbing, flatwork or other structure.
Additional objects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in the description which follows, and in part will be apparent from the description, or may be learned by the practice of the invention.
The objects and advantages of the invention may be realized and obtained by means of the instruments and combinations particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
