Abstract:
An illuminating light switch with an integrated sliding member that, when actuated by a user, exposes led lighting elements to illuminate the area where the light switch is affixed. The light switch includes a front member having a light aperture aligned with a light source, a rear member with a first mounting member affixed, a second mounting member adapted to be coupled to both a support surface and the first mounting member, and an internal switch to selectively supply current to the light source. In the closed position, the sliding member obscures the light source and no current is supplied to the light source. In the intermediate position, the sliding member partially exposes a first extent of the light source that provides illumination through the light aperture. In the open position, the sliding member exposes a second extent of the light source to provide a greater amount of illumination through the light aperture.

Claim (Index 1):
An illuminating light switch removably affixed to a support surface, comprising:\n a housing including:\n a front member that includes a light aperture; \n a rear member that includes a first mounting receiver configured to receive an extent of: (i) a first mounting member that is coupled to an extent of the rear member and (ii) a second mounting member adapted to be coupled to the support surface, and \n a sliding member; \n a pair of internal projections that form a channel, wherein the sliding member is movable along the channel between a closed position and an open position; \n a light source disposed between an extent of the rear member and the sliding member, the light source being aligned with the light aperture and lacking both a reflector and an optic; \n at least one power source operably connected to an internal switch to selectively supply current to the light source; \n wherein in the closed position, the sliding member obscures the light source and the internal switch does not supply power to the light source for illumination; and wherein in the open position, the sliding member exposes at least an extent of the light source and the internal switch supplies power to the light source for illumination through the light aperture without being reflected or passing through an optic.
