Abstract: An illuminated indicator for a doorbell can be arranged to receive light along an optical axis (e.g., that is perpendicular to a front face of the doorbell housing) and emit the light from an output portion that defines a closed loop (e.g., that extends around the optical axis) and in a direction that is parallel to the optical axis. The illuminated indicator can include a light pipe that receives light along the optical axis and reflects the light to follow a radially outward and divergent path, e.g., that is perpendicular to the optical axis. The radially outward and divergent light can be reflected to follow a path that is parallel to the optical axis for emission at an output portion of the light pipe. The light pipe can be configured to transmit a doorbell switch activation force to other parts of the doorbell to cause actuation of the switch.
