In an aircraft having an A/C exterior and an A/C interior, an assembly for illuminating an A/C window on the interior. The assembly comprises an A/C interior panel having an inner surface and an outer surface configured with walls defining a window opening. A substantially opaque inner collar is generally configured to the shape of the window opening also has an inner edge and an outer edge. The inner collar is adapted to engage the A/C interior panel adjacent the window opening. A window shade unit is provided and has an inner lens and a substantially opaque moveable shade. A light diffuser member, such as a milky colored at least partly light transparent sheet of plastic, is configured to the shape of the window opening. The light diffuser engages the opaque inner collar near the outer edge thereof and lays adjacent the inner lens of the window shade unit. Coupling members are used to couple the window unit to the inner collar and an illumination source configured to lay adjacent the collar and an outer surface of the light diffuser, so as to illuminate the window from the outside in, through the light diffuser when the light source is illuminated, so as to cast light into the A/C interior. |
