Abstract

The invention provides a unique and totally novel apparatus means for illuminating a variety of cabinet working countertops by means of employing a multi layered illumination assembly in a low cost, simple, and effected manner, that is disclosed using conventional materials, an a variety of light illuminations sources, to create an attractive illuminated vanity cabinet accommodating multiple vanity designs.

Claims (21)

1. An apparatus to provide the means of effectively illuminating vanity cabinet working countertops, comprising:

a) a composite multiple layer assembly comprising multiple layers that fits within the vanity cabinet, and composite multilayer assembly wherein the composite multilayer assembly comprises six layers consisting of a) translucent epoxy resin layer, b) translucent glass tile layer, c) upper translucent plexi-glass layer, d) a top frame layer made from aluminum, e) lower translucent plexi-glass layer, and f) lower frame layer made from aluminum; and

b) a light source beneath the multiple layer assembly that facilitates light transmission through the multiple layer assembly to illuminate the vanity cabinet working counter top.

2. The light source according to claim 1 , wherein the light source is in the form of a LED (light emitting diode) source powered by an ac. electric power supply.

3. The light source according to claim 1 , wherein the light source is in the form of a LED (light emitting diode) source powered by a dc. stand alone battery electric power supply.

4. The light source according to claim 1 , wherein the light source is an incandescent source powered by an ac. electric power supply.

5. The light source according to claim 1 , wherein the light source is an incandescent source powered by a dc.stand alone battery electric power supply.

6. A method to provide the means of effectively illuminating vanity cabinet working countertops, comprising:

a) a composite multiple layer assembly comprising multiple layers that fits within the vanity cabinet; and the composite multilayer assembly wherein the composite multilayer assembly comprises six layers consisting of a) translucent polyurethane resin layer, b) translucent lexan tile layer, c) upper translucent plexi-glass layer, d) a top frame layer made from aluminum, e) lower translucent plexi-glass layer, and f) lower frame layer made from aluminum, and

b) a light source beneath the multiple layer assembly that facilitates light transmission through the multiple layer assembly to illuminate the vanity cabinet working counter top.

7. The light source according to claim 6 , wherein the light source is in the form of a LED (light emitting diode) source powered by an ac. electric power supply.

8. The light source according to claim 6 , wherein the light source is in the form of a LED (light emitting diode) source powered by a dc. stand alone battery electric power supply.

9. The light source according to claim 6 , wherein the light source is an incandescent source powered by an ac. electric power supply.

10. The light source according to claim 6 , wherein the light source is an incandescent source powered by a dc.stand alone battery electric power supply.

11. A system to provide the means of effectively illuminating vanity cabinet working countertops, comprising:

c) a composite multiple layer assembly comprising multiple layers that fits within the vanity cabinet; and the composite multilayer assembly comprises six layers consisting of a) epoxy resin layer, b) translucent glass tile layer, c) upper plexi-glass layer, d) a top frame layer made from aluminum, e) lower plexi-glass layer, and f) lower frame layer made from aluminum, and,

d) a light source beneath the multiple layer assembly that facilitates light transmission through the multiple layer assembly to illuminate the vanity cabinet working counter top.

12. The light source according to claim 11 , wherein the light source is in the form of a LED (light emitting diode) source powered by an ac. electric power supply.

13. The light source according to claim 11 , wherein the light source is in the form of a LED (light emitting diode) source powered by an dc. stand alone battery electric power supply.

14. The light source according to claim 11 , wherein the light source is an incandescent source powered by an ac. electric power supply.

15. The light source according to claim 11 , wherein the light source is an incandescent source powered by a dc.stand alone battery electric power supply.
