FLX_443_YTP_04

As part of the FLX_443_YTP_04 series, the application field of optical light pipes is used to transfer light from one location to another. This is advantageous especially in situations where direct lightlines of sight are not available due to factors such as size and distance. With their construction of thin fibers that are exponentially flexible, light pipes are capable of providing a high degree of versatility and cost-effectiveness. This makes them ideal for transferring illumination between components of various kinds, such as for LED signage or medical instruments.

The working principle of light pipes is based on the concept of total internal reflection, which means that light is confined to the interior of the pipes. This process begins when light is allowed to enter through the radial surface of the optical pi. Then the total internal reflection will take place within the inner walls of the pipe. As long as the walls of the pipe possess the correct angle and refractive index, no light shall escape or be lost and the illumination is thus able to travel the length of the pipe before exiting through its center.

The FLX_443_YTP_04 series offers a wide range of configurations and applications to suit the needs of numerous light transmission projects. The range of light pipes are constructed with durable polycarbonate bodies and have a variety of shapes and sizes depending on the requirements for the project. Some of its applications include the following:

• LED Signage – for LED-based displays and signage, light pipes provide an effective means for dispersing and intensifying illumination from a single source.
• Medical Instruments – light pipes can provide the required amount of illumination and visibility for instruments for semi-invasive surgical procedures.
• Commercial Lighting – depending on the model, light pipes can be used in commercial lighting applications such as those for display shelves or counters.

The FLX_443_YTP_04 series enables the transfer of light from one place to another with minimal compromise in quality and performance. With their expansive selection of models and sizes available, they are highly advantageous for a wide range of applications. Light pipes offer an economical and versatile solution for many light transmission projects and can be used in an array of configurations.
