The panel further includes a translucent thermoplastic sheet of material having rubber channel strips on opposing longitudinal sides of the sheet of material. The sheet of material is disposed within the guide grooves of the base member such that channel strips prevent vibration of the sheet of material within the guide grooves. The panel still further includes an LED strip having a plurality of LEDs and disposed within a cavity formed by the base member and the sheet of material, wherein light from the LEDs illuminates the sheet of material. The second opposing side of the base panel is adapted to be fastened to a structure. Exemplary suitable structures include a locking rail and an index light.
