A light conductor device receives light from a light source. The light conductor includes a radial conductor. The radial conductor includes a conductor body and a projection conductor. The conductor body has an annular end surface. The projection conductor has a projection surface. The conductor body is configured to receive light from the light source though the annular end surface. The conductor body is further configured to conduct the light in a radial direction to illuminate the projection surface in the radial direction and to form a light pointer on the projection surface.
