    Abstract: A system and method for lighting a surface, for example a deck of a boat, spa, swim spa, pool, watercraft or vehicle, using backlighting such that decorative or other desired patterns of light may be created by forming cuts, outlines, thin sections, or voids in an overlay that is applied to the lighted surface, allowing light to pass through or around portions of the overlay material. In an exemplary use of the system and method of the invention, the surface may be the surface of a boat or spa. The surface may comprise transparent or translucent materials, allowing light from a first side of the decking, or light that is generated within the decking, to pass through the decking and to emanate from a second decking side, where the light may be blocked, partially blocked, or allowed to pass through the overlay material in any desired pattern or shape.

    Abstract: A lighting system includes a base structure including a transparent or translucent material, a surface covering including a first surface layer, a first surface, a second surface facing the base structure, and at least one light source disposed to as to illuminate at least a portion of the base structure with light energy such that at least a portion of the light energy passes through the at least a portion of the base structure and into the surface covering, wherein the light surface is embedded within the base structure, and wherein the surface covering includes a void extending at least partially between the first surface of the first surface layer and the second surface of the second surface layer and configured to allow at least some of the light energy passing through the base structure to pass through the void.

    Abstract: A connectorized lighting system for a base structure such as a deck pad, comprising a base structure having an a retaining cavity disposed in and running along a surface of the base structure, a lighting element inserted into the retaining cavity, and connectorized light source that provides electrical power to the lighting element, exhibits a low profile, and may be removable and replaceable without tools. The base structure may be a deck pad on a boat or a covering for a floor, spa, spa cabinet, pool, or any other surface. The deck may comprise EVA or PE foam material, and may comprise one or more layers of sheet material. The retaining cavity may comprise a window and bevels for visibility. A lighting element may be held in place by forces created when the compressible material of the base structure is compressed by pressing the lighting element into the retaining cavity.
