Abstract
A thumb turn assembly that is configured to provide an illuminated visual indication of an orientation of a thumb turn, and thus an illuminated indication of an active status relating lockset relating to an associated bolt being in a locked or unlocked position. The thumb turn assembly can include an optical system that can be coupled to the thumb turn body. At least a portion of the optical system can be displaced with the displacement of the thumb turn body. The optical system can be configured to transmit an illumination from or through the thumb turn body to visually communicate the indication of the orientation of the thumb turn, and thus the locked or unlocked position of the bolt.
