A lighting system for a hat includes a front housing containing lighting elements that mates with a back plate positioned on the inside of the hat. Driver circuitry controls operation of the LEDs for various lighting modes, and a cover for the front housing is translucent and designed in the shape of a recognizable logo or other design. Electric power comes from a battery located on the back plate, and is provided through the hate using prongs or projections that pass through the hat, from the back plate to a circuit connector in the front housing. The circuit connector is electrically coupled to circuitry on a circuit board in the front housing.

A marker system for a vehicle comprises a marker structure bearing an augmented reality (AR) code visible on a surface thereof, and an illumination source configured and positioned to provide sufficient contrast between the AR code and adjacent portion of the marker structure at the surface to enable a camera aimed at the surface to detect the AR for recognition thereof. Related systems and methods are also disclosed.

A concealed light fixture sign includes a flange having stencil openings formed therein that define a message. A container extends from a rear surface of the flange and provides light through the stencil openings. The container is configured to be installed completely within a recess behind a mounting surface with the flange positioned substantially flush with the mounting surface. Translucent inserts positioned within the stencil openings are removable to provide access to an interior of the container after installation of the light fixture sign.
