Abstract: The disclosure relates to the technical field of bulbs, and discloses a multi-resistor waterproof bulb structure including a plastic base and at least one resistor. A first metal support wire passes through a first clamping seat to a first guide hole in sequence and clamps and fixes the resistor into the seat, and the wire extends outward and is electrically connected to a strip light. The disclosure has the following advantages: 1. By changing the structure, the resistor is directly clamped to the plastic base, so the clamping and fixation effects are good. 2. The assembly is easier: the resistor can be directly inserted into the clamping seat to realize fixation, and no displacement will occur to the resistor, so that the resistor is more stable in subsequent welding. 3. A process of pressing and fixing the resistor is eliminated, thereby saving the production and manufacturing cost.

Abstract: An information handling system may include one or more illuminable icons to present information to a user of the system, such as information regarding a status of the information handling system. An illuminable icon may be lit by a plurality of light sources, and light from the plurality of light sources may be diffused across the illuminable icon by a light guide film. Some illuminable icons may have multiple portions that may be separately illuminated to convey different information to a user. An isolation block may prevent light from light sources configured to illuminate one portion of an illuminable icon from illuminating other portions of the illuminable icon. Thus, light for illuminating icons of an information handling system may be diffused and/or blocked to enhance aesthetic appeal of the icons and to prevent user confusion that may result from bleeding of light from one portion of an illuminable icon to another and/or uneven illumination of an icon.
