Abstract:
An apparatus for marking the location of an object and that includes an elongated and translucent or transparent tubular member having top and bottom ends and a mounting piece secured to the bottom end of the elongated and translucent or transparent tubular member. The mounting piece may be comprised of a mounting coupler that is constructed and arranged for mounting from a mounting surface of the object so that the elongated and translucent or transparent tubular member is disposed in a substantially vertical position. The mounting surface includes a horizontal flange having a hole therein. An elongated light string extends within the elongated and translucent or transparent tubular member between the top and bottom ends of the elongated and translucent or transparent tubular member. The elongated light string is comprised of an elongated and planar support strip and a plurality of LED's that are spaced along the elongated and planar support strip, a source of electrical energy for the elongated light string, and conductor wiring for connecting the source of electrical energy to the elongated light string. A cap is disposed over the top of the elongated tubular member to provide a seal at the top of the elongated and translucent or transparent tubular member.
