Abstract: An illumination device for use with a hand-held remote control unit having a length, width and height and a back panel and a front control panel. The illumination device comprises a base, and a projection extending from the base. The projection is exposed to a space formed above the base and contains an illumination source which is directed toward the space. An attachment system is also provided for releasably attaching at least a portion of the back panel of the hand-held remote control unit to at least a portion of the base, so that at least a portion of the length and width and the entire height of the hand-held remote control unit is maintained in a position within the space above the base, so as to subject a selected surface of the front control panel to the illumination source for facilitating illumination of the selected surface by reflecting light rays therefrom, while permitting actuation and operation of the hand-held remote control unit.

Abstract: An illumination device for use with a hand-held remote control unit comprising a base and a projection extending from the base and the projection is exposed to a space formed by the base and contains an illumination source which is directed toward the space. The space is configured to accommodate receipt of at least a portion of the hand-held remote control unit in the space so as to return the hand-held remote control unit in a position to subject a selected surface thereof to the illumination source for facilitating illumination thereof while permitting actuation and operation of the hand-held remote control unit.
