A closure for an apparatus, the closure comprising:
- a set of first light sources;
- a substrate having a first primary surface opposite a second primary surface, the set of first light sources positioned proximate to the first primary surface of the substrate;
- a first lightguide configured to distribute light from the set of first light sources, the first lightguide having a first primary surface opposite a second primary surface, the first primary surface of the first lightguide positioned proximate to the second primary surface of the substrate;
- a first curved structure extending between the set of first light sources proximate to the first primary surface of the substrate and the first lightguide proximate to the second primary surface of the substrate, wherein light emitted from the first lightguide indicates a status of the apparatus;
- and
- a frame supporting the set of first light sources, the substrate, the first lightguide, and the first curved structure, the frame being configured for selective movement of the closure relative to the apparatus.
