A method for manufacturing a panel includes forming a path segment on a surface of a substrate from a photoluminescent material. The method further includes overlaying the path segment with an overlay material. The overlay material is configured to render the path segment substantially invisible under an ambient photopic condition and render the path segment visible under an ambient mesopic or scotopic condition.

A cabin furnishing element for a cabin, such as a cabin of an aircraft, includes a panel having a panel body. The panel body includes an illumination surface having an illumination zone, and defines a lighting recess within the panel body relative to the illumination surface. The panel also includes a lighting system having a light source assembly and a light guide. The light source assembly and light guide are retained within the lighting recess defined by the panel body. The lighting system is adapted to selectively illuminate a portion of the illumination zone.

A pathogen sterilization light assembly for a vehicle cabin is provided herein and may include a plurality of sterilization lights mounted spaced apart along a cabin of the vehicle and configured to emit ultraviolet (UV) light directed toward areas within the cabin to sterilize pathogens.

Lighting assemblies for interiors of vehicles, interior panels for interiors of vehicles, and vehicles are provided herein. In one example, the lighting assembly includes a backing structure having a first backing surface configured to face the interior when the lighting assembly is mounted in the vehicle. A bezel comprises a wall that extends from an outer edge portion to an inner edge portion. The inner edge portion is spaced apart from the first backing surface to define a gap and surrounds an opening that is configured to expose at least a portion of the first backing surface to the interior. A light source is disposed between the backing structure and the bezel and is covered by the wall. The light source is operative to produce light that passes from the light source through the gap onto the first backing surface and is reflected therefrom through the opening to the interior.
