Abstract
A gaming machine lighting assembly includes light pipe bulb assemblies resembling traditional light bulbs. The light pipe bulb assembly includes a bulb housing adapted to be mounted through a hole in the housing face element and defines an interior volume. A transparent dome is attached to a front portion of the bulb housing. A light pipe holder is positioned between the PCBA and the housing face element, and a light pipe is held by the light pipe holder with a proximal end positioned to receive light from the LED. The light pipe extends forward within the interior volume of the bulb housing to present a distal end toward the transparent dome for emitting light.
