Abstract

A spray boom includes a body having a length defined between a first end and a second end thereof. The body is formed by a plurality of layers of composite material adapted to be molded together to form an inner surface and an outer surface. An internal cavity is defined in the body internally of the inner surface. A light-emitting system is integrally formed in the body in an outer layer thereof or at a location between the inner surface and the outer surface. The light-emitting downsystem has an on state and an off state in which it is adapted to emit a light when in the on state.
