Claim Text:
1. A light assembly comprising: a light guide having an elongated body extending along a longitudinal axis between a first end and an opposing second end, the light guide including multiple segments that are arranged axially along a length of the body between the first and second ends, the segments alternate along the length, each segment having a light receiving region and a light emitting region, the light guide configured to receive light in the light guide through the light receiving regions of the segments and configured to emit light from the light guide through the light emitting regions of the segments, the body of the light guide including a top side, a bottom side, a left side, and a right side, the segments comprising right-side segments, left-side segments, and top-side segments, the light receiving region of the right-side segments defined along the right side, the light receiving region of the left-side segments defined along the left side, the light receiving region of the top-side segments defined along the top side, the right-side segments each having an angled surface extending from the right side to the left side at an oblique angle relative to the right side, the left-side segments each having an angled surface extending from the left side to the right side at an oblique angle relative to the left side, the angled surfaces of the right-side segments and the angled surfaces of the left-side segments configured to reflect light that is within the light guide toward the respective light emitting regions of the segments, the angled surfaces of the right-side segments and the angled surfaces of the left-side segments being planar; multiple light pipes that are each elongated between an attachment end and an opposing distal end, the light pipes disposed along the light receiving regions of the light guide and extend parallel to the longitudinal axis; and multiple light sources configured to emit light, each light source optically coupled to the attachment end of a corresponding one of the light pipes, the light emitted by each light source received by the corresponding light pipe at the attachment end and transmitted through the light pipe towards the distal end; wherein adjacent segments of the light guide receive light from different light pipes and emit the light from the light guide through the respective light emitting regions of the adjacent segments.
