Smile Product photography lighting

I'm not sure is this is the right place ti ask, but I'll try
I have to make some photos for a company that makes home appliance products.
The product shoots has to be high end photos, on a white background, for print catalog, web and advertising ousage.
I was searching through web sites of companies for home appliances and I find some strange things:
example:
(link)
1. Is there some small light that can be hidden behind product in the refrigerator?
if yes witch ones?
2. how I can make light bi so identical from top till the floor at the product, if I use an light witch is camera left up ?
or I have to use strip lights?
3. How to light the white background if the product is white and reflective?
or I have to make the isolation in post ?

Is there any tips and tricks about using lights, modifiers or something else that u can tell me?
Thanx a lot

The problem is that the product are in the company where I have to make the shooting
There is a room where I can set my "studio" where I can make the shooting.

For large even light, a scrim can be useful. Something like a hanging a white bed sheet and shooting a flash into it. This will make the light huge, even and soft. For a white background, give some space (6ft or so) between the background and the subject and light the background and subject separately. A small speedlight with some radio triggers can be hidden inside or behind a refrigerator pretty easily.
