Abstract
A lighting system for a vehicle is disclosed. The system comprises a photoluminescent portion disposed on an inner surface of a closure of a compartment. A light source is located proximate the closure. The light source is configured to emit an excitation emission at a first wavelength directed toward the photoluminescent portion. The photoluminescent portion is configured to convert the first wavelength to at least a second wavelength longer than the first wavelength.

A lighting system for a vehicle comprising:
- a photoluminescent portion disposed on an inner surface of a closure of a compartment;
- a light source located proximate the closure, the light source configured to emit an excitation emission at a first wavelength directed toward the photoluminescent portion, wherein the photoluminescent portion is configured to convert the first wavelength to at least a second wavelength longer than the first wavelength.
A lighting system for a compartment of a vehicle comprising:
- at least one photoluminescent portion disposed on an inner surface of a closure;
- at least one light source disposed proximate an outer portion of the compartment and configured to emit light at a first wavelength, wherein the photoluminescent portion is configured to convert the first wavelength to at least a second wavelength longer than the first wavelength.
