## Abstract

An indicator light includes at least one segment. Each segment includes a housing forming an interior and an exterior surface with a light source within. A light filter comprises a transparent or translucent stretchable elastomeric ring processed to pass a desired color and dimensioned to fit on the exterior surface of the housing.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An indicator light, comprising:
at least one segment, the at least one segment comprising:
a housing, forming an interior and an exterior surface;
a light source within the interior;
a light filter, dimensioned to fit on the exterior surface of the housing.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The indicator light of claim 1 wherein the housing is translucent or transparent.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The indicator light of claim 1 wherein the light source is a source of white light.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The indicator light of claim 1 wherein the light source is a light bulb.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The indicator light of claim 1 wherein the light source is one or more light emitting diodes.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The indicator light of claim 1 wherein the light filter is an elastomeric ring.

### Claim 7

An indicator light, comprising:
at least two segments, the respective segments being optically isolated from each other, each segment comprising:
a segment base;
a housing mounted on the segment base, the housing being transparent or translucent and having an exterior surface and defining an interior;
a light source mounting on the segment base within the exterior surface;
a light filter, being stretchable, transparent or translucent, and processed to pass light of a desired color, dimensioned to fit over the indicator light and fit on the exterior surface of the housing of a segment; wherein:
the at least two segments are stacked with the segment base of one segment attached to the housing of a different segment.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The indicator light of claim 7, wherein the segment base optically isolates the respective segments.

### Claim 9 (depends on 7)

The indicator light of claim 7, wherein the housing is transparent or translucent.

### Claim 10 (depends on 7)

The indicator light of claim 7, wherein the light source emits white light.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The indicator light of claim 10 wherein the light source is a light bulb.

### Claim 12 (depends on 10)

The indicator light of claim 10, wherein the light source is one or more light emitting diodes.

### Claim 13 (depends on 7)

The indicator light of claim 7, wherein the light filter is transparent or translucent, is stretchable, and processed to pass light of a desired color.

### Claim 14 (depends on 13)

The indicator light of claim 13 wherein the light filter is an elastomeric ring.
