The system also includes a damper system including a damper assembly having a damping mechanism coupled to the fixed body and the cover. The damping mechanism is configured to dampen motion between the cover and the fixed body. The damper assembly further includes a housing coupled to the damping mechanism and a switch. The damper assembly further includes a power source and a switch. A lighting device is coupled to the power source. A portion of the damping mechanism is configured to interact with the switch to activate and deactivate the lighting device.
