1. A method of installing an elongated LED lighting unit onto substantially parallel and horizontal rows of first and second support brackets connecting vertical upright supports, said elongated LED lighting unit comprising an elongated transparent housing with a first endcap that is free of an electrical connector and a second endcap that comprises an electrical connector; the first endcap, second endcap, and elongated transparent housing enclose a plurality of solid state lighting devices fixed to an elongated heat sink, the elongated heat sink (i) extends beyond a first end of the transparent housing, (ii) extends past a first gasket so as to define a first cantilevered heat sink extension beyond the first gasket within the first endcap and establishes a watertight seal through engagement with the first gasket, (iii) contacts an internal surface in the first endcap, (iv) extends beyond a second end of the transparent housing, (v) extends past a second gasket so as to define a cantilevered heat sink extension beyond the second gasket within the second endcap and establishes a watertight seal through engagement with the second gasket, and (vi) contacts an internal surface in the second endcap;
positioning the first endcap of the elongated LED lighting unit that comprises an external cooperative surface and an external mating feature onto the first support bracket with a corresponding mating feature and surface; and
positioning the second endcap of the elongated LED lighting unit that comprises an external cooperative surface and an electrical feedthrough onto a second support bracket with a corresponding mating feature and surface.
