Optics-light pipes, known as LED light pipes, are optical components that direct light from a board-mounted LED to the crucial point where light is needed. They are highly flexible in light distribution to change the position of LED light without changing the LED’s location itself. These pipes are mostly panel mounted or press fit, which makes them easy to install.
Types of LED Light Pipes
LED light pipes have three main styles with either single or multi-unit configurations, i.e., flexible, rigid vertical, and rigid right angle. Flexible light pipes are made from optical grade plastic and are capable of moving light to the required area from a greater distance. On the other hand, Rigid LED light pipes are designed from hard plastic and distribute the light at shorter distances, either vertically or at a 90° angle.
How to Choose the Right LED Light Pipes?
An LED must be matched to a light pipe to capture the maximum light. Furthermore, LED style, mounting style, and lens size should also be considered to determine the right LED light pipe for your desired project.
What are the Advantages of Optic-Light Pipes?
Light pipes provide considerable advantages over alternative technologies such as fiber optics.
- They are more cost-effective than fiber optic technology-cost, as much as 50% less.
- Simpler design processes.
- Capable of bending and skewing to fit inside the panel, reducing light loss.
- It helps to capture and enhance light transmission.
- Capable of transmitting up to 80% of emitted light.
What are the Applications of Optics-Light Pipes?
Due to their diverse range of custom and semi-custom formats, and cost-effectiveness, light pipes are widely employed in multiple applications, including:
- Medical
- Industrial control
- Security
- Communication
- Life safety
- Optoelectronics
- Automobiles
- Electrical equipment
- Visual indications
- Instrument cluster
- Control panels
- Electronic devices, circuit boards.
