Abstract
A light pipe is mounted to a support structure along a length of the light pipe. The light pipe has an end at which light enters the light pipe. Light exits the light pipe at an emissive surface of the light pipe. A reflective backing is positioned at a surface of the light pipe opposite the emissive surface. A compliant member between the reflective backing and the support structure maintains the reflective backing flush against the surface of the light pipe.
