Claim 4:
5. An elongated LED lighting unit comprising:
an elongated transparent housing including a longitudinal axis with a first end and a second end oppositely positioned thereon;
a first endcap and a second endcap mounted with respect to the first end and the second end, wherein the second endcap includes an electrical feedthrough;
an elongated heat sink including a longitudinal axis; and
a plurality of solid state lighting devices mounted with respect to the elongated heat sink,
wherein the elongated transparent housing encloses the elongated heat sink, and the elongated heat sink is mounted with respect to the first endcap and the second endcap;
wherein 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, (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; and
wherein the first endcap and the second endcap are mounted with respect to a surface of a first support bracket and a second support bracket, connecting at least two vertical upright supports.
