    Abstract: An illuminated tile device is disclosed that provides a simplified method of applying LED lighting so it can be used in residential and small-scale spaces. The illuminated tile device comprises a base layer, a top layer, and a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) sandwiched there between. Furthermore, the gap between the top layer and the base layer comprises a filler material wherein the plurality of LEDs are embedded. The plurality of LEDs are in electrical communication via at least one electrical trace interconnecting the plurality of LEDs in series between two sets of electrical contacts positioned on perimeter edges of the base layer. The electrical contacts allow for the interconnection of multiple illuminated tile devices and enable electrical continuity between the devices and from a modulated power source. Additionally, a plurality of illuminated tile devices can be interconnected and secured together within a grid.
