| 1. An elongated perimeter light, comprising:
input conductors;
an array of light sources that are illuminated by electric power, said input conductors carrying electric power and coupled
to said array;
an elongated tube acting as a lens for said array of light sources, said array of light sources disposed within said tube,
said tube transmitting and dispersing the light from said array such that the individual light sources within said array are
not visible when illuminated, giving the appearance that said array of light sources is a continuous light source;
output conductors carrying said electrical power of said perimeter light so that said perimeter light can be connected in
a daisy-chain;
said array of light sources being cuttable at intervals to shorten said array while allowing the remaining light sources in
said array to emit light, said tube being cuttable to match the length of said array, wherein said output conductors are arranged
such that said array of light sources can be cut without cutting said output conductors.
