Abstract
A mounting bar assembly for versatile positioning and orientation of indicator lights such as light emitting diodes (LED's). The mounting bars are cut to a desired length to accommodate a desired number of LED's and are cut to provide a plurality of slots at predetermined, spaced LED locations. The connector leads of the LED's are inserted within the slots and adjusted in a direction generally perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of extent of the mounting bar so as to position each LED at a desired height with respect to a printed circuit board or other electrical circuit device to which the leads are connected. The connector leads are malleable, and after being secured to the mounting bar, are bent to any desired configuration so as to support each LED in a particular orientation as required.
