Claim:
1. A method for constructing a concrete structure illuminated by light sources embedded in said concrete structure, said method comprising: positioning an array of light sources of a predetermined configuration with associated circuitry on a support member, each of said light sources comprising a base and a lens housing in communication with and distal from said base, wherein said array of light sources is positioned on said support member with said lens housing of said each of said light sources inserted through perforations configured in said predetermined configuration in said support member and protruding below a lower surface of said support member; positioning a mold around said positioned array of light sources and said associated circuitry on said support member; filling said mold containing said positioned array of light sources and said associated circuitry on said support member with a binder material to embed said positioned array of light sources and said associated circuitry within said binder material; allowing said binder material to set within said mold containing said embedded array of light sources and said associated circuitry; and removing said mold and said support member, when said binder material is set, to obtain said concrete structure embedded with said positioned array of light sources and said associated circuitry, wherein said embedded array of light sources illuminates said concrete structure when said embedded array of light sources is powered on.
