Abstract
Mounting hardware for a faucet including one or more light sources for illumination. The light source(s) can be configured to emit light from one or more vertically oriented surfaces of the mounting hardware.

When included, the ultraviolet light can be directed onto one or more areas of one or more horizontally oriented surfaces located adjacent to the vertically oriented surface(s). The light sources can be located in an escutcheon of the mounting hardware.
