Abstract
A mounting bar for spacing apart indicator lights used in electronic equipment has a channel bar with a base and a top edge from which spaced apart mounting fingers cantileverly extend. The channel bar, base, and fingers form a cavity within which indicator light modules are frictionally held. The indicator light modules may have extending protrusions which engage the gaps between the mounting fingers. The protrusions may be of the same width between the mounting fingers, or may be wider than the gaps between the mounting fingers for increased frictional retention of the indicator lights within the mounting bar.
