Description of the Invention: [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to an illumination system suitable for use in a freezer and/or refrigerator (specifically, a freezer and/or refrigerator equipped with a glass door). The illumination system, which is preferably a light emitting diode (LED) illumination system, is configured to provide a light distribution pattern to illuminate the interior of the refrigerator and/or freezer. More particularly, the present invention relates to a light appearance modifying device or optical appearance modifying module that is slidably attached to an illumination system to be used in the refrigerator and/or a freezer. [Prior Art] The refrigerator has conventionally been constructed with one or two lamps that are mounted to the mullion of the refrigerator door to provide illumination of the refrigerator. Also, the refrigerator has been constructed with movable shelves' which are adapted to vary the distance between adjacent shelves to accommodate different food heights. When moving the shelf, the moving shelf can block light from the light and can cause dark spots in the refrigerator. In addition, when placing food on a shelf, the food sometimes interferes with the light passing through the shelf, which also causes dark spots. In summary, this can result in a relatively poor light appearance that illuminates the light distribution pattern inside the refrigerator. In today's retail environment, high-quality lighting is becoming more important because it has to show the best results of the product to attract shoppers who decide to purchase the item. In addition, good, consistently uniform light gives the freezer display and/or the refrigerator a more professional look that matches, for example, brand value and company image. Therefore, there is a need to provide an improved method of illuminating goods. In order to provide an improved lighting method, Koninklijke Philips Eleet_ies 146796.doc 201040475 NV has proposed a led lighting system intended for use in freezer and/or refrigerated cabinets, which are commonly used, for example, in (for example) grocery store. 1 and 2 illustrate a freezer (or refrigerated cabinet) 3 containing one of the E E D lighting systems 2 of this type. This LED lighting system 2 is designed to replace tubular fluorescent lamps previously used, for example, inside a vertical full height freezer. The illumination system 2 can include one or several LEDs 2la-2lj. In general, LEDs have a longer life than tubular fluorescent lamps used prior to use. Additionally, the illumination system 2 can be coupled to an LED power driver 25, as depicted in Figures i and 2. The Ο led electric drive can be, for example, an electric drive of 100 watts 24 volts direct current. As shown in Figure 1, the LED power driver 25 can be mounted on top of the freezer cabinet 3 to provide an electrical connection 28 to the LED lighting system 2. Alternatively, the LED power driver can be mounted at the bottom of the freezer (not shown). One of the types mentioned above, the LED lighting system 2 was first placed on the market at the end of 2007 (when this LED lighting system 2 was selected by the grocery store to illuminate the interior of its cold-storage cabinet). Some of the advantages provided by this type of lED illumination system 2 confer an improved visual impression of the displayed merchandise as well as the entire freezer 3. For example, the LED lighting system 2 can advantageously facilitate lighting effects of products that may be in promotion. Moreover, the unique optical system provided by the system 2 prevents direct viewing of the led, thereby reducing any annoying glare. Moreover, the sustainability of the lighting system 2 can be improved by lower energy consumption, reduced waste, and removal of hazardous materials such as mercury and lead that have been used in the past. However, there is also a need to further improve lighting in, for example, a retail environment.
