4. DESCRIPTION

TECHNICAL FIELD

[001] The present disclosure relates to a field of illuminating objects. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to an illumination arrangement seamlessly integrated with commercial appliances.

BACKGROUND

[002] Conventionally, the posters or stickers depicting the product available in the commercial refrigeration appliances are pasted over the commercial refrigeration appliances to attract the customers, create brand awareness and create impulsive purchase decisions. These stickers or posters used are normally approved art works of companies who want to have these stickers/posters pasted on the appliance to generate high brand awareness and brand recognition. However these posters are visible only up to a limited distance and are unnoticeable in dark.

[003] Typically, to overcome the above mentioned problem some kind of back lighting is provided behind these posters/stickers. These back lighted stickers/posters are normally and visibly add-ons to the commercial refrigeration appliances. The lighting is enclosed in heavy, protruding, thick and bulky, high electrical power consuming box shaped containers, through which light emitted is not uniform in nature and whose front end visible to customers side is pasted with the sticker/poster that needs to be illuminated. These box shaped containers while do an adequate job of illuminating the poster/sticker from behind they by virtue of inherent design cannot be seamlessly integrated into the commercial refrigeration appliance without being seen as an add on box to creating seamlessness between the container and the commercial refrigeration appliances. This very noticeable separation between the lighting box and the appliance does not allow for box and appliance assembly to look seamlessly integrated and look aesthetically pleasing and professional to look at. This does not allow the good professional appearance to the freezer display in line with the brand values and the company images.

[004] Presently, the freezers are having a set of advertising light boxes located at the top, side, front or back and inside of the commercial refrigeration appliance. This type of lighting is not conducive for saving electrical energy, and occupies high amount of space for these lighting systems manufacturing cost is also high. Further, the lamps used in these boxes are typically designed to operate for short durations of time between 1000 and 20000 hours.

[005] The existing advertising freezer lights are placed inside the box shaped containers. But this lighting system consumes more electrical energy, it has a possibility of damaging easily and the life time of these lights is very less. Thus the light-appearance in above the light distribution pattern has very poor appearance for advertising the images of the companies related to products.

[006] In the light of aforementioned discussion there exists a need of an illumination arrangement seamlessly integrated with a commercial appliance.
