Light Pipes

Light pipes transport illumination from a board-mounted LED to an exterior enclosure surface, letting designers place status indicators exactly where users need them. These optical guides use total internal reflection to guide light through bends and across distances with minimal loss, allowing the LED itself to sit deep inside a chassis without sacrificing visibility. LED light pipes come in rigid and flexible varieties, with options for single-color, multi-color, and array configurations to match different PCB light pipe layouts.
