Abstract

An illumination system is disclosed. The illumination system may include a base that may support a lighting assembly. The base and the lighting assembly may be configured within a beverage container display unit to illuminate the beverages within the unit. The base and the lighting assembly may be located below the beverage containers within the unit to illuminate the containers from below.

Claims

1. An illumination system, the system comprising:

a base for supporting at least one container; and

an illumination device configured with the base;

wherein the base supports the at least one container and the illumination device illuminates the at least one container.

2. The illumination system of claim 1 further comprising a channel configured within the base and that supports the illumination device.

3. The illumination system of claim 2 wherein the at least one container rests on an upper surface of the base and the channel is configured below the upper surface of the base.

4. The illumination system of claim 3 wherein the channel includes a recess and the illumination device is configured within the recess to illuminate the at least one container from beneath the at least one container.

5. The illumination system of claim 2 wherein the channel extends from the front of the base to the rear of the base.

6. The illumination system of claim 1 wherein the base includes an upper base section and a lower base section that when configured together form the base.

7. The illumination system of claim 6 wherein the lower base section includes a channel that supports the illumination device.

8. The illumination system of claim 7 wherein the at least one container rests on an upper surface of the upper base section and the channel is configured below the upper surface of the upper base section.

9. The illumination system of claim 8 wherein the channel includes a recess and the illumination device is configured within the recess to illuminate the at least one container from beneath the at least one container.

10. The illumination system of claim 7 wherein the channel extends from the front of the lower base section to the rear of the lower base section.

11. The illumination system of claim 1 wherein the illumination device includes an LED strip.

12. The illumination system of claim 11 wherein the LED strip includes LEDs that emit colors of light selected from red, green, blue and white.

13. The illumination system of claim 1 further comprising a controller.

14. The illumination system of claim 13 wherein the controller controls the lighting of the illumination device.

15. The illumination system of claim 1 wherein the containers are beverage containers.

16. The illumination system of claim 1 wherein the base is configured within a beverage display.

17. The illumination system of claim 16 wherein the beverage display includes at least one shelf to support beverage containers and the base is configured with the at least one shelf.

18. The illumination system of claim 16 wherein the beverage display includes at least one channel to support beverage containers and the base is configured with the at least one channel.
