Abstract
An illuminated edging system includes an edging section having an upper portion and a lower portion; a light strand (e.g. a rope light) disposed inside the upper portion; and an electrical connector at an end of the light strand and disposed inside the upper portion. The translucent upper portion and the lower portion are integrally formed of plastic. The upper portion and lower portion may be co-extruded so that they are of different materials. A translucent coupler joins adjacent edging sections. The coupler may be formed as a slotted cylinder surrounding the upper portion, the lower portion extending through the slot. A weather-resistant connector may be disposed inside the upper portion of the edging section, protecting the electrical connector.
