ABSTRACT:
An LED indicating light assembly is mounted on the interior side of a computer housing wall, over a lens opening therein, and is operative to provide a visual confirmation that an operating component within the computer housing is activated. The assembly includes a mounting socket structure having an open front end securable to the housing wall over the lens opening, and an open rear end. An elongated lens member is longitudinally inserted forwardly into the socket structure to position a front end portion of the lens in the housing wall lens opening. As the lens is inserted into the socket structure, a transverse mounting pin portion of the lens, intermediate its front and rear ends, is latched into place by a resiliently deflectable outer side wall portion of the socket structure. An LED device positioned behind the mounted lens is used to illuminate its front end portion. A multiple lens embodiment of the socket structure receives and lockingly engages two closely adjacent rows of lenses with the rear ends of the lenses being laterally offset from their front ends in a manner providing increased rear mounting space for the LED devices used to illuminate the lenses.
