First Claim
1. A Light Emitting Diode light system for a domestic appliance, comprising:
- a first Light Emitting Diode light panel mounted on a first wall of said appliance,wherein Light Emitting Diodes are mounted along a periphery of said light panel for emitting light through a first surface of said panel;
a second reflective surface formed on said panel opposite said first surface;
a diffuser provided on said panel for diffusing light emitting by said Light Emitting Diodes; and
a power supply source connected to said Light Emitting Diode panel for providing power to said panel.

Abstract
A Light Emitting Diode light system for a domestic appliance includes a Light Emitting Diode light panel mounted on a first wall of the appliance. Light Emitting Diodes are mounted along a periphery of the panel for emitting light through a first surface of the panel. A second reflective surface is formed opposite the first surface of the panel. A diffuser is provided for diffusing light emitted by the Light Emitting Diodes. A power supply source connected to the Light Emitting Diode panel for providing power to the panel. A method of illuminating the interior of a microwave oven includes providing a first Light Emitting Diode panel mounted on a first wall of the microwave; providing a second Light Emitting Diode panel mounted on the first wall of the microwave; providing a diffuser for diffusing light emitted by the light emitting diodes; and providing a power supply source connected to the Light Emitting Diode panel to provide power to the panel.
