Abstract: A light fixture includes a housing, a light-emitting element, and a lens extending over the light-emitting element. The housing includes a support surface, and the light-emitting element is coupled to the support surface. The lens includes a refractor portion having an inner surface and an outer surface. The inner surface is positioned proximate the light-emitting element. The inner surface is oriented at an angle such that the light generated by the light-emitting element exhibits total internal reflection within the lens until the light reaches the outer surface.

Abstract: A mirror assembly includes a frame, a mirror platform, a light emitting element, a light guide, an interior reflective surface, and a back plate. The mirror platform includes a central reflective portion and a translucent portion. The light emitting element is retained within the frame and driven by a driver. The light guide plate is disposed adjacent the light emitting element and includes two opposed major surfaces that propagate light along the light guide plate. The interior reflective surface is disposed adjacent a rear major surface of the light guide plate. The back plate is affixed to the frame, securing the mirror platform, the light emitting element, the driver, the light guide, and the interior reflective surface therebetween.

Abstract: A chest, which can comprise a refrigerated chest such as a freezer for example, includes an opening at the top of the chest through which access can be had to a chest interior. The opening is arranged substantially horizontally when the chest is maintained in its normal operational state. One or more doors mounted to the chest at the opening at the top of the chest are selectively movable between a position closing off the entire opening at the top of the chest and a position opening up the opening, including a horizontal position, thereby providing access to the refrigerated chest interior through the opening. The one or more doors can comprise two equal-sized doors. A respective door support can be provided outside the chest interior for each of the one or more doors at which a door of the one or more doors is supported in a horizontal position.
