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 11):
An illuminating light switch removably affixed to a support surface, the light switch comprising:\n a housing including a front member that includes a light aperture and a rear member joined to the front member, the rear member including a first mounting receiver that receives an extent of a first mounting member; a second mounting member adapted to be coupled to both the support surface and the first mounting member; a sliding member operably connected to at least one internal channel of the housing, wherein the sliding member is movable along the channel between a closed position, an intermediate position and an open position; a light source disposed between an extent of the rear member and the sliding member, the light source being aligned with the light aperture; at least one power source operably connected to an internal switch to selectively supply current to the light source; wherein in the closed position, the sliding member obscures the light source and the internal switch does not supply current from the power source to the light source for illumination; wherein in the intermediate position, the sliding member partially exposes a first extent of the light source and the internal switch supplies current from the power source to the light source for illumination through the light aperture without being reflected or passing through an optic; and, wherein in the open position, the sliding member exposes a second extent of the light source and the internal switch supplies current from the power source to the light source for illumination through the light aperture without being reflected or passing through an optic.
