ILLUMINATION DEVICE HAVING AN OPTICAL WAVEGUIDE AND DOMESTIC REFRIGERATION DEVICE HAVING SUCH AN ILLUMINATION DEVICE

摘要

The invention relates to an illumination device and to a domestic refrigeration device (1) having such an illumination device as an interior illumination device (9). The illumination device has at least one lighting means (16) and an elongate optical waveguide (11). The optical waveguide has a length (l), two ends (17), a back side (13), and a front side (14) opposite the back side (13). One of the two ends (17) is optically coupled to the at least one lighting means (16), or each of the two ends (17) is optically coupled to at least one of the lighting means (16). The back side (13) of the optical waveguide (11) has an outcoupling structure (19), which is an integral part of the back side (13) of the optical waveguide (1) and is designed to couple the light coupled into the optical waveguide (11) out of the optical waveguide (11) at least over most of the entire length (l) of the optical waveguide via the front side (14) of the optical waveguide.
