A zipper includes a tape body including two zipper tapes each having an inner edge with a row of teeth. A stop includes a first end connected to distal ends of the rows of teeth and receives two first conductive plates. An end of one of the two first conductive plates is electrically connected to an electrode of at least one light-emitting element. A power connecting portion is electrically connected to another of the two first conductive plates and another electrode of the at least one light-emitting element. A slider is slidably disposed on the rows of teeth for engaging or disengaging the rows of teeth. The slider includes a second conductive plate configured to simultaneously contact with the two first conductive plates, causing electrical conduction to activate the at least one light-emitting element to emit light. A container with the zipper is also provided.

A guide for a strand of electric lights having a plurality of light elements spaced along an electric conductor. The guide includes a tubular body having an inlet end, an outlet end, and an oblong shaped passage extending through the tubular body from the inlet end to the outlet end. The passage dimensioned to slidably receive the light elements in a way that causes the light elements to be generally oriented along a major width of the passage as the light elements pass through the tubular body.

A portable solar strip light includes a solar module, a power supply, a strip light assembly and an electrical connector. The solar module is electrically connected to the power supply. The strip light assembly is electrically connected to the power supply via the electrical connector. The strip light assembly includes at least one strip light which is fixedly connected to an external object via a fastener. A mounting member is provided at a bottom of the power supply to mount the power supply on the external object.

There is a provided a lighting system comprising a first cable and a second cable for receiving a voltage difference. The first cable extends between a first pair of installation locations and the second cable extends between a second pair of installation locations. The lighting system also comprises a plurality of light emitting diode (LED) strips, each LED strip electrically connected to and extending between the first cable and second cable. The lighting system also comprises a cable tensioner system coupled to the first cable and second cable for adjusting the tension of the first cable and second cable.

A vehicle barrier gate arm is pivotable between an upward and downward position. The gate arm has an exterior wall and one or more recessed light housings within visor channels. Each light housing may contain a light system such as an LED light strip or a light rope. The light housing is positioned at the inward end of a visor channel. The visor channel is defined by two opposing, parallel visor channel walls extending inward from the exterior wall. Each visor channel wall has a retaining fin extending perpendicularly from the visor channel wall into the visor channel, thereby forming an aperture in the light housing. The light housing is situated behind the retaining fins. The retaining fins and the visor channel walls form crooks within the upper and lower corners of the visor channels. The visor channels and the crooks shade the light housing and create dark regions of the channels. The shaded visor channels provide a stronger contrast between illuminated and non-illuminated LED lights strips, allowing an observer to better determine whether the LED lights strips, which often act as signals, are activated or are not activated.

A lighting device contains light-emitting elements and has an elongated shape. The lighting device has a housing that has reflective side walls extending in a longitudinal direction of the housing; a cavity formed between the reflective side walls; and light-emitting elements arranged at least partially along the longitudinal direction relative to each other in the cavity. An opening of the cavity forms a light-emitting area, A width of the cavity expands from the light-emitting elements towards the opening at least in sections. A reflective element covers at least a section of the opening and reflects a part of light emitted from the light-emitting elements towards the cavity and reduces a width of the light-emitting area compared to a width of the opening.
