Illumination for storage units

摘要

An illumination assembly 100 e.g. for illuminating drawers 202 of a storage unit 200, such as a cabinet or toolbox, is adapted to be coupled to the storage unit by coupling the illumination assembly within a retrofittable or integrated feature of the storage unit to direct or radiate light into a containment space of the storage unit when opened. The illumination assembly may also illuminate a facade, sides, underside, or surrounding area of the storage unit. The illumination assembly includes a light source, a power supply and a switch, which may be a manually operated switch or a sensor type switch, such as a proximity or motion sensor. The light source may be located in a recess formed in a structural feature of the storage unit, such as trim pieces 206, and may be oriented to emit light in an outwardly and/or downwardly direction into the drawers when opened, or may be disposed on an inside surface of the containment space.
