A lighting apparatus formed from a translucent cylindrical foam tube such as a white “pool noodle” that is soft, flexible, and resilient and has a flexible electrically powered internal illumination source such as an LED strip bearing multiple LEDs extending through its interior. The lighting apparatus is typically provided with electricity via a plug adapted for insertion into an automobile cigarette lighter socket, and is readily positioned along the interior edges of an automobile window for illumination of areas where window tint/film is being applied to the window. The lighting apparatus can also have a self-contained power source and be connected in series for added versatility and utility.

A system (100) and method (900) for illuminating the interior space (90) of a trailer (84). The system (100) can utilize a power box (200) to draw and store electricity from a tractor (82) and use that electricity to activate LED assemblies (300) within the trailer (84) is untethered from the tractor (82). The lights (310) can be activated by a motion sensor (340) associated with the location of the lights (310) being activated.

A powering surface assembly includes an electric power transfer arrangement connected to a power source, and having at least one of a conductive fabric, a conductive foam, or an inductive transmitter coil. A light assembly includes an electric power receiving arrangement, which electrically couples with the electric power transfer arrangement when the light assembly is attached to the surface assembly, such that power is transferred from the power source to the light assembly. The electric power receiving arrangement includes at least one of electrical contacts which contact the conductive fabric or the conductive foam, or an inductive receiver coil that inductively couples with the inductive transmitter coil.

A glass panel assembly for use in a roof of a vehicle, comprises a glass panel, a frame and an elongate lighting device. The glass panel comprises an interior main surface and the interior main surface of the glass panel is configured to be directed to a passenger compartment of the vehicle. The frame is adhered to the interior main surface and comprises a shaped element. The shaped element is one of a recess and a protrusion. The elongate lighting device is coupled to the frame by a mating shape engaging the shaped element. The lighting device is configured to directly illuminate at least a part of said passenger compartment.
