LED SHELF LIGHT FOR PRODUCT DISPLAY CASES

摘要

A thin flexible light strip is formed by printing microscopic LEDs in rectangular sections along the light strip, where each rectangular section creates a vertically elongated emission profile. The light strip has a length approximately equal to the length of a shelf supporting products (e.g., bottles) to be illuminated. The shelf may be in a glass-door cooler in a store. Each section is located along the light strip to be centered with a product in the front row on the shelf. The light strip is supported by a plastic holder that attaches to the front of the shelf. The holder angles the light strip upward between 20-40 degrees, relative to vertical, to substantially uniformly illuminate each product equally. The holder may support an additional light strip that is angled downward toward products on a lower shelf.

主权项

1. An illumination system for shelved products comprising:
a light strip comprising light emitting diodes (LEDs), the light strip having a light emission side; and a holder supporting the light strip, the holder including an attachment device configured to be attached to a front of a shelf supporting the products, the holder being configured to position the light emission side of the light strip at an upward angle when the holder is attached to the shelf to illuminate the products supported by the shelf.
