Abstract
An illuminated address number assembly. The illuminated address number assembly includes a housing having a light source therein and fasteners disposed on an outer surface thereof, wherein the fastener secures the housing to an object, such as a mailbox or fence post. The housing further includes one or more cutouts disposed on opposing lateral sides of the housing wherein the cutouts take the shape of letters and/or numbers. The cutouts allow the light source to shine through, such that the cutouts are illuminated. The light source is operably connected to a power source, such as a solar panel or a battery, or hardwired electrical circuit. A wireless transceiver is disposed within the housing and operably connected to the light source, such that the light source can be selectively actuated via wireless communication. The device may further include a wall mounted switch, such that a user can manually actuate the lights.
