A light fixture includes a heat dissipating structure, an electronics assembly, and a bolt for attaching the heat dissipating structure to an external panel. The heat dissipating structure includes a first side having multiple outwardly extending projection regions and a socket, for receiving a light source, is formed in an apex of each projection region. A second side of the heat dissipating structure includes a heat sink formed in an internal cavity of each projection region. The heat sink includes fins in contact with and radially arranged about an outer surface of the socket. The electronics assembly is located at the first side of the heat dissipating structure. The bolt includes a passage through which wiring from an external source is routed to the electronics assembly. The electronics assembly includes wires routed through channels in each of the projection regions that electrically interconnect the light sources to the electronics assembly.

A lighting system for providing uniform bright lighting of products within in a glass door refrigerated cabinet. The lighting system has a frame member with an angled wing extending therefrom that wraps around a side edge of a light-transmitting optical shield, and a LED lighting strip positioned between the frame member and the optical shield. The LED lighting strip has a plurality of spaced-apart LED lights mounted therealong with a coined reflective facet optic mounted around each LED light. The angled wing(s) reflects light emitted laterally outwards from the at least one LED lighting strip such that the light can be re-directed to evenly illuminate products in a refrigerated cabinet. The angled wing(s) also protects a user's fingers from cracking the plastic optical shield which can become brittle in the cool or cold temperatures of the refrigerated cabinet.

A larger amount of light generated by a light source is emitted to the interior of an accommodation chamber. A lighting device provided on a side wall of an accommodation chamber of a refrigerator includes a light source that generates light, and a cover including a light incident portion on which the light generated by the light source is incident. The cover includes a light exit portion that includes a protrusion formed at a front surface facing the interior of a storage compartment, and causes light to exit to the interior of the storage compartment, and a light reflection diffusion portion that is formed on the back side of the light exit portion at a back surface facing the light source side, includes a plurality of recesses each having an inner peripheral surface, and directs light toward the protrusion.

A dispensing unit is operatively associated with a refrigeration appliance for selectively dispensing water and ice at a dispensing station. The dispensing unit includes an actuator that is movable to selected positions in order to support the dispensing of the water and ice. The dispensing unit can include a passageway through which ice is dispensed, and an ice door can be provided for selectively opening and closing the passageway to the dispensing of ice. In one aspect, the ice door can be opened and closed mechanically and in another aspect, the ice door can be opened and closed electromechanically. The dispensing unit also can provide for the position of a water-dispensing nozzle to be adjusted for the purpose of dispensing water to receptacles outside a recessed area at which the nozzle is located and to provide for the activation of illuminating devices to indicate operating conditions at the refrigeration appliance.

A shelf assembly including a shelf and a luminaire coupled to a front edge of the shelf. The shelf also includes a rear edge and side edges, as well as a top surface that supports product and a front surface defined at the front edge. The luminaire includes a housing and one or more LEDs that are embedded in the housing and that illuminate above or below the shelf. The front surface of the shelf is non-planar, and the housing is flexible to conform to the non-planar front surface.

The present invention provides a luminous shelf, comprising: a shelf plate made of a transparent material, having an upper surface formed as a carrying plane of the luminous shelf; and a luminous strip lamp provided on one side of the shelf plate, a plurality of lamp beads being arranged in the luminous strip lamp at intervals in a length direction thereof, the luminous strip lamp having a mounting plane, and the plural lamp beads being arranged in a direction perpendicular to the mounting plane; the luminous strip lamp is placed obliquely relative to the shelf plate, such that an comprised angle is formed between the mounting plane and the carrying plane.

A refrigerator includes a cabinet that defines a storage space therein, a door configured to open and close at least a portion of the storage space, and a user detection sensor disposed at a first side of the door with respect to a center line crossing a width direction of the door and configured to detect a user. The user detection sensor is inclined with respect to a front surface of the door by a predetermined angle to thereby face toward the center line.

A refrigeration appliance includes a compartment for storing food items in a refrigerated environment, the compartment being illuminated by at least one modular LED illumination device. The portion of the illumination device disposed within the compartment is generally flush with a mounting section and includes an LED lighting module arranged in a housing. The module has a board member, two or more LED light sources electrically connected to one another and to the board member, and two or more electrical edge connections for allowing electrically parallel connection between two or more modules being interchangeable with one another. A concave reflecting surface is positioned adjacent the module with a majority of light emitted from the LED light sources being incident thereon for reflection into the compartment. A liner defining the compartment has the mounting section to which the housing is mounted, where the mounting section has an inward draft angle.

The invention relates to a freezer illumination lens system, comprising a lighting fixture, a lens connected with the lighting fixture and a mounting groove configured for receiving a printed circuit board supporting a LED light source by insertion. The lens comprises a light transmitting main portion, a first light transmitting auxiliary portion and a second light transmitting auxiliary portion. The light transmitting main portion is configured and arranged relative to the LED light source such that a major portion of light emitted by the LED light source is focused, and the first light transmitting auxiliary portion and the second light transmitting auxiliary portion are arranged along long sides of the light transmitting main portion. The invention has the advantages that the utilization rate of light can be improved, the illumination can be uniform, and the overall illumination effect can be improved.

A domestic cooling device has a cold chamber delimited by walls, and at least one lighting module fitted into a wall opening of a delimiting wall of the cold chamber. The lighting module includes a light outlet pane, a light source arrangement having at least one light-emitting diode, a reflector body which reflects light in the direction towards the light outlet pane, which light reflection surface is irradiated by each light-emitting diode of the light source arrangement, and a frame part which is produced separately from the reflector body and protrudes from the delimiting wall on the side thereof facing towards the cold chamber, which frame part forms a visible surface which extends all around the light outlet pane and is exposed towards the cold chamber. The frame part is a surface-coated plastics component which is held in place by engaging the underside of the light outlet pane.
