›FIG. 1 is a bottom front perspective view…

FIG. 1 is a bottom front perspective view of a light system showing the claimed design in an exemplary environment;

FIG. 2 is a bottom plan view of the light system of FIG. 1 ; and,

FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of the portion of the light system within reference boundary 3 of FIG. 2 .

The broken lines in the figures show portions of the light system and environment that form no part of the claimed design.

The dot-dash-dash lines in the figures are reference lines that form no part of the claimed design.

The figures are illustrated to show contrasting appearance. The black-shaded areas, the gray-shaded areas, and the non-shaded claimed areas have different appearances.
