ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a pleasant illuminated anti-trip cable duct for use in protecting wires that cross pathways. The illuminated anti-trip cable duct may also be used to illuminate raceways or paths, such as aisles in auditoriums or churches. The anti-trip cable duct incorporates an integrated light transmission window and electroluminescent wire. Installation is straightforward and very similar to installation of standard, non-illuminated cable duct. Unlike rope or string lighting, which may not be arbitrarily cut, the present invention may be cut to any arbitrary length at the job site, provided that a minimum length is used. Lengths of the present invention may be cascaded together, enabling long illumination runs. The present invention may be provided in rolled lengths, adding to ease in shipping, warehousing, and job site installation. Little additional skills are required for installation, making the present invention an attractive alternative to typical non-illuminated anti-trip duct.
