gazebo 10 is equipped with one or more solar poweredlights 32. A particularlysuitable light 32 is a lamp strip assembly described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/084,156, filed Mar. 21, 2005, to the same inventor as the present invention, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. Briefly, the lamp strip assembly may include an elongate housing in which one or more lamp sets may be mounted. (“Elongate” means having a length longer than the width, preferably but not necessarily at least twice as long than the width.) Each lamp set includes a lamp and an elongate reflector. The elongate reflector may include a curved reflective portion adapted to reflect light rays from the lamp through a light transmissive element of the elongate housing. The light transmissive element may be transparent or translucent (or anything between), and may have any size and color. The curved reflective portion may be white and concavely curved with respect to lamp. - The solar powered
lights 32 may include, without limitation, LEDs or incandescent lights, and may have any size and color. In the case of LEDs, the LEDs may be of any size, mcd rating, and color (e.g., white, red, green, blue, yellow or other non-white colors, or a RGB (red, green, blue) changing LED, or any combination thereof). “White” is defined as the color that has no or little hue, due to the reflection of all or almost all incident light. “White” in the specification and claims encompasses, bright white, “dirty” white, off-white, gray-white, snow white, hard-boiled-egg white and other shades of white. The colors of the lights may be programmed to change at predefined or random intervals, providing stunning lighting effects. - The solar powered
lights 32 may be positioned anywhere in thegazebo 10, and at any attitude (vertical, horizontal, angled and any combination thereof). Preferred positions include along (outside, inside or any combination thereof) thepoles 12,rails 14,roof slats 26, handrails 16 andlower cross-pieces 18, and any combination thereof.
