Lighting system for use with a microwave oven

A microwave oven comprising:

• a top wall, side walls, and a bottom wall at least partially defining a cavity of said microwave oven, the bottom wall defining an aperture therethrough;
• a table coupled to the bottom wall, the table having a top surface and an opposing bottom surface, the top surface configured to support an item within said cavity;
• a mixer defining a mixing chamber formed in part by a bottom portion, the bottom portion defining a plurality of light directing surfaces extending outwardly therefrom, the mixing chamber defined in part by a plurality of channels, a longitudinal axis of each channel being aligned to intersect with one of the plurality of light directing surfaces, the mixing chamber further defining an outlet aligned with the aperture in the bottom wall of the microwave oven;
• a plurality of light sources, each light source positioned within or adjacent an outer end of each of the plurality of channels;
• and
• the mixer configured to allow light from the light sources to pass through the corresponding channels towards the light directing surface and reflect through the outlet through said table, said table configured to diffuse the light emitted from said plurality of light sources into said cavity to illuminate said cavity.
