Light energy exciter

A mounting assembly comprising:

• a light pipe mount for mounting a light pipe with respect to a light source;
• and
• a second light pipe mount for mounting a second light pipe with respect to a second light source, wherein the mounting assembly is configured to facilitate mounting of the second light pipe independent of mounting of the light pipe, wherein the mounting assembly contacts the light pipe at a single point of contact of the light pipe, wherein the mounting assembly includes a support structure, wherein the light pipe mount is mounted to the support structure, and wherein the second light pipe mount is mounted to the support structure, wherein the mounting assembly includes a support structure, wherein the light pipe mount is mounted to the support structure below a horizontal axis extending through the light pipe and the second light pipe, and wherein the second light pipe mount is mounted to the support structure above the horizontal axis extending through the light pipe and the second light pipe, wherein the mounting assembly includes a support structure, wherein the light pipe mount is removably screw mounted to the support structure, and wherein the second light pipe mount is removably screw mounted to support structure, wherein the mounting assembly includes a support structure having a cavity, wherein the light pipe mount is mounted to the support structure having the cavity, and wherein the second light pipe mount is mounted to support structure, wherein the mounting assembly is configured so that when the light pipe mount is mounted to the support structure the light pipe extends through the cavity, the cavity having a diameter larger than a diameter of the light pipe so that when the light pipe extends through the cavity the light pipe does not contact a sidewall defining the cavity, wherein the mounting assembly is configured so that when the light pipe mount is mounted with respect to the light source, there is a standoff distance between the light pipe and the light source, and further so that when the second light pipe mount is mounted with respect to the second light source, there is a defined standoff distance between the second light pipe and the second light source, wherein the light source is included in a light source bank mounted at a region of a printed circuit board, and wherein the second light source is included in a second light source bank mounted at a second region of the printed circuit board, the second region being spaced apart from the region, wherein the second region and the region are surface modified regions of the printed circuit board having surface modifications characterized by an insulator layer and a conductive metal routing layer being removed, wherein the mounting assembly contacts the light pipe at a single location of contact of the light pipe, wherein the single location of contact includes an adhesive matching an index of refraction of air.
