Abstract: The present invention provides an illuminated handle system for a cabinet. The illuminated handle system includes at least one handle comprising a gripping member, at least one support member that secures to a cabinet door via a fastener, a light source disposed within the gripping member, wherein the light source is operably connected to a first power source, a microprocessor, and a first transceiver. The microprocessor actuates the light source when a wireless signal is received by the first transceiver. The illuminated handle system further includes a motion sensor comprising a housing having a second power source and a second transceiver, wherein the motion sensor transmits a wireless signal to the handle when motion is detected, such that the light source is actuated. In an alternative embodiment, the light source is operably connected to a temperature activated sensor disposed within the handle that actuates the light source.
