A grade control indicator assembly is disclosed. The grade control indicator assembly may include a keypad to control one or more functionalities of a machine, where the keypad includes a set of grade control light indicators integrated into the keypad, and where the set of grade control light indicators includes a first subset of grade control light indicators for indicating a grade of the machine with respect to a first side of the machine and a second subset of grade control light indicators for indicating the grade of the machine with respect to a second side of the machine.

A keyboard backlight module includes a light-guiding sheet, a circuit board, a light-emitting element, a reflective sheet and a release film. The circuit board is located on a surface of the light-guiding sheet, and the reflective sheet is located on another surface of the light-guiding sheet opposite to the circuit board. The light-emitting element is located between the circuit board and the light-guiding sheet, and disposed on the circuit board. The light-emitting element emits light into the light-guiding sheet. The release film is located on the light-guiding sheet and the circuit board, and transfers a glue layer on the surface of the light-guiding sheet. The light-guiding sheet includes a plurality of illuminated patterns, and the keyboard backlight module adjusts the illumination uniformity of the light through the reflective sheet, the glue layer and the plurality of illuminated patterns.

A wall-mounted keypad may include a light detector circuit located inside the keypad that is configured to measure an ambient light level in a space. The light detector circuit may receive ambient light through an aperture that is hidden from view by the keypad. The keypad may include a reflector for directing ambient light onto the light detector circuit. The keypad may include an enclosure that houses the light detector circuit. The enclosure may define a recess that exposes at least a portion of the light detector circuit. The enclosure may include a reflector that may focus ambient light received through the aperture onto the light detector circuit. The keypad may include a control circuit that may be configured to illuminate the indicia of respective buttons of the control device in response to actuations of the one or more buttons, in accordance with the measured ambient light level.

A control device for controlling power delivered to an electrical load may illuminate an area around a button of the control device, such as a gap formed between the button and an opening of a faceplate of the control device. The control device may illuminate the gap to provide a nightlight feature, to provide feedback (e.g., a status of the electrical load), and/or to indicate a selected preset. The button may have a cap portion that may be actuated by a user and a diffuser portion that may contact a rear surface of the cap portion and may conduct light emitted by an internal light source to illuminate the gap around the button.

In some embodiments, a keyboard may comprise internal light sources to backlight keycaps. In addition, the keyboard may provide one or more unobstructed paths for light from an external light source located beneath the keyboard to reach the keycaps. When the keyboard is placed onto the external light source, the keycaps within the keyboard may be illuminated from the external light source. When the keyboard is placed on a display device of a dual-display computing device, one display device may be used to present text and images to a user while the other display device provides backlighting for the keyboard. Software may manage the image shown on the display device located under the keyboard device to alter the appearance of the keycaps. The keyboard battery life may be extended by disabling key backlights within the keyboard when the dual-display computing device provide the backlight.
