Abstract
A meter mounting panel having an opening through which a dial board of a meter is exposed is made of a transparent material and has a light reflecting surface formed thereon. An edge of the panel is located in the vicinity of a light source so that the light from the light source enters the panel through the edge and is reflected on the reflecting surface to be directed in a direction parallel to the surface of the panel thereby to illuminate the same from within.
