  • Patent number: 10612769
    Abstract: An illumination device for projecting light laterally from an appliance along a surface on which the appliance is mounted. The illumination device includes a slab of light transmissive material having internal reflectance characteristics, a lighting element within the slab, and power conductors connected to the lighting element and projecting from the slab. The power conductors may be series connected to an energizable circuit of the appliance and mounted on an environmental surface formerly bearing the appliance. When so connected, the slab will illuminate when the appliance circuit is energized, and will project light along the environmental surface, thereby supplementing light emitted by the appliance, or accentuating the appliance by supplemental light.
