Abstract
An illuminated inlet for a vacuum cleaning system which can be mounted in a wall of a structure or in a cabinet. The inlet includes a main frame, a front plate, a door, and an electrical switch that operates the motor of the vacuum cleaning system. Illumination of the area directly in front of the inlet is provided by LED's operated upon the opening of the door. The inlet is mounted adjacent a floor so that an individual can clean a room by sweeping up the dirt and debris towards the present invention. The door of the inlet is then opened and the dirt and debris is swept into the present invention. When the door opens the LED's are illuminated and the motor of the vacuum cleaning system is turned on so that the dirt and debris can be drawn into a collection container. When the door is closed, the LED's and the motor for the vacuum cleaning system is turned off. A magnet is used to keep the door in the open position and a retainer to keep the door in the closed position.
