Abstract
A light consolidation assembly for attaching to a light pipe includes a housing having therein at least a first light source configured to generate a first light and a second light source configured to generate a different, second light. The light consolidation assembly also includes a light consolidator having a body including a light entry end coupled to the housing and a light exit end. The light entry end has multiple spaced-apart branches that converge into a stem that extends from the multiple branches to the light exit end. The light consolidator is configured to receive the first and second lights into respective first and second branches of the multiple branches. The first and second lights are directed into the stem and exit the light consolidator at the light exit end for transmission through a light pipe disposed at the light exit end of the light consolidator.
