ABSTRACT:
An illuminated landscape edging composed of a planar member which is structured to be implanted into the ground and by a tubular member which is structured to be located above ground. In the preferred form of the invention, the tubular member is light passable and is provided with a slit running its length. Both the planar and tubular members are integrally constructed of plastic. The illuminated landscape edging is elongated and is provided in long rolls which may be cut into sections to suit the length needs of a particular landscaping job. Sections of the illuminated landscape edging are joined by a slotted tubular connector inserting into open ends of adjoining tubular members. A lighting string, such as miniature Christmas lights, is inserted into the tubular member via passage through the slit in the tubular member progressively therealong. A slot in the slotted tubular connector enables the lighting string to be passed therethrough, as well. At a selected location along the slit in the tubular member, the wiring of the lighting string exits the tubular member to be connected externally to a power source of electricity, which may be the home utility service or a solar energy storage power system. In the nighttime hours, the lighting string is illuminated, thereby providing a pleasant line of light which follows the predetermined demarcation pattern of the illuminated landscape edging.
