ABSTRACT:
An elongated illumination device for receiving an elongated light source. In one illustrative embodiment, the elongated illumination device includes an elongated member that has a cavity for receiving the elongated light source. The cavity is preferably at least partially defined by a first material that is at least partially transparent and extends from the cavity to an outer surface of the elongated member and a second material that is substantially non-transparent. In some embodiments, the elongated member includes one or more legs that are adapted to secure the elongated member to a substrate.
