A luminaire adapted to apply an auto-gradient effect across pixels has an interface coupled by a connection to a controller. The controller has electronic circuitry that receives a predetermined start light parameter for a start pixel of a luminaire and receives a predetermined end light parameter for an end pixel of the first luminaire, the predetermined end light parameter greater than the predetermined start light parameter. The controller circuitry then automatically interpolates a gradient effect for a middle light parameter of each of a plurality of middle pixels of the luminaire based on the start and end predetermined light parameters. The controller circuitry then outputs control signals having the start, end and middle light parameters to the start, end and middle light pixels, respectively, through the connection and to the interface.

A flexible lighting tube and universal architectural mounting system for lighting upon municipal utility poles. The mounting system is a bracket having the form of an inverted track to receive a lighting tube. The bracket may have a base and plurality of flanges used to either hold the lighting tube or attach to a pole. The base and flanges form a U-like shape and are made from a flexible material allowing the bracket to be shaped to conform to a pole to which it attaches. A foam layer may be inserted between the bracket and tube to inhibit unintended disconnection.

An illumination apparatus can include a light assembly having a housing section and an attachment section. At least one light emitting device is contained within the housing section. The attachment assembly can include a substantially flat base section and an attachment member extending outwardly from the base section. The attachment section of the light assembly can define a recess having a size and shape that is complementary to the attachment member of the attachment assembly, such that the light assembly and the attachment assembly can be releasably attached to each other by complementary frictional engagement of the attachment member of the attachment assembly and the attachment section of the light assembly when the attachment member is positioned within the attachment section.
