A lighting panel 6 comprises a transparent substrate 7, upon a first surface of which are mounted one or more light sources 1. The lighting panel further comprises a guide layer 9 wherein the guide layer is arranged to encapsulate the one or more light sources upon the first surface. The one or more light sources comprise top emitting LEDs mounted on their side upon the first surface. In this way the described apparatus provides an optically efficient means for providing "warm white" backlighting of products that can be manufactured on a commercial scale while offering acceptable levels of reliability and avoiding the use of light redirecting optics. |
