A shelving system includes a power track having an electric circuit connected to a power source, and at least one shelf structure including a top panel and containing a light source beneath the top panel to radiate light to the shelf structure immediately below it, the shelf structure being removably fitted to the power track so that the light source is electrically connected to the electric circuit. The shelf structure preferably includes a pair of laterally spaced apart shelf brackets having structures for receiving and retaining the top panel, a forward nose piece secured over the forward longitudinal edge of said top panel, the forward nose piece including opposing, slotted plate receiving beads, so that the forward longitudinal edge of the top panel fits against the beads, an elongate light source mounting plate fitted longitudinally and engagingly into the slot in the opposing beads beneath the top panel, a pair of spaced apart bulb mounting socket structures projecting from the mounting plate and a light source ballast structure, and a circuit having a conductive shelf coupling structure and extending from the ballast structure to one of the socket structures, and from the ballast structure to the power source.
