Led illuminated glass insulating panel

A spacer profile,

• comprising:
• a maintainer maintaining an intermediate substrate in an intermediate space between a first and a second glass substrate of a glass lighting panel, and
• a lodger lodging at least one light source so that the at least one light source is arranged to emit light into the intermediate substrate predominantly along a plane of the panel;
• wherein:
• the spacer profile is positioned at the periphery of the panel between the first and the second glass substrates, and
• the maintainer comprises:
• a first and a second spring lips extending along at least a portion of the length of the intermediate substrate and arranged to pinch both main surfaces of an edge of the intermediate substrate;
• and
• a stop that maintains the edge of the intermediate substrate at a determined distance from the light source in the direction along the plane of the panel.

A method of manufacturing a glass lighting panel, the method comprising:

• positioning a spacer profile at the periphery of the glass panel between a first and a second glass substrate of the panel to maintain an intermediate space between the first and second glass substrates,
• maintaining
• an intermediate organic glass substrate in the intermediate space between the first and the second glass substrates via a first and a second spring lips of the spacer profile extending along at least a portion of the length of the intermediate organic glass substrate and a stop of the spacer profile maintaining an edge of the intermediate organic glass substrate at a determined distance from at least one light source in the direction along a plane of the panel, wherein the first and second spring lips are arranged to pinch both main surfaces of the edge of the intermediate organic glass substrate;
• lodging the at least one light source via the spacer profile so that the at least one light source emits light into the intermediate organic glass substrate predominantly along the plane of the panel, and
• arranging at least part of the intermediate organic glass substrate to deflect the light out of the plane of the panel and through at least one of the first and second glass substrates to provide a diffused light output.
