1. A method for illuminating an object with an illumination device comprising a first illumination source comprising a length of material and one or more lights configured to illuminate the length of the material, one or more mounting brackets, a control module comprising a power source and an electrical circuit, wherein the electrical circuit is configured to electrically couple the power source to the one or more illumination sources based on operation of a switch in the electrical circuit, and a control module mounting bracket, the method comprising:
coupling the control module mounting bracket to a surface of the object;
attaching the control module to the control module mounting bracket;
coupling the first illumination source, about a portion of the length where a first wire from the control module connects to the first illumination source, to the surface of the object with an initiating bracket of the one or more mounting brackets; and
coupling a first end of the length of the first illumination source to the surface of the object with a terminal bracket of the one or more mounting brackets.
