Abstract
An automated banking machine includes a light source (42) for selectively illuminating either a fascia (36) or an interior area (20) of an enclosure (10). The light source is movably mounted on brackets (54) so as to be movable into a light conducting passage (46) which conducts light to illuminate the fascia. When the interior area of the enclosure is to be illuminated the light source is moved relative to the brackets to be positioned outside the light conducting passage. Service of serviceable components (22, 24, 26) is facilitated by using the light source to illuminate the interior area of the enclosure.
