Abstract
A light pipe assembly providing a light pipe that has at least one transmission region, at least one light source that is optically connected to the transmission region, and an modifying element. The modifying element creates the appearance of even light distribution throughout the length of the light pipe. Thus, the modifying element blocks more light at the portion of the light pipe where the light from the light source is most intense. The modifying element is a gradient on the exterior side of the light pipe, a gradient on a secondary element that covers the light pipe, or a skin which the light pipe is at least partially imbedded in.
