Abstract
The invention is an outdoor lighting display using light emitting devices. A flexible light track is secured at the bottom of a channel, e.g. a letter or symbol. A top corresponding to the shape of the channel covers the channel to protect the flexible light track from weather changes. The flexible light track includes a plurality of plastic modules having electrical connectors and respective tracks. Light emitting devices (LEDs) are inserted in the plastic modules. Electrical wires are positioned in the tracks of the plastic modules such that the LEDs are electrically connected in parallel.
