Optics - Light Pipes

Light pipes provide the ability to transmit light from one part of a system to another, with minimal optical losses and without the need of more traditional optical fiber cables. When properly designed, light pipes provide a simple and robust method of transporting and routing of light in a multitude of applications such as instrument panel and panel controls, glare shields, and specialized lighting. With their flexibility, light pipes can also be used in many industrial sensing and medical applications.

PLTR5-1000-PR1 light pipes offer a versatile platform for transporting and routing light in a variety of general lighting and instrumentation applications. The PLTR5-1000-PR1 light pipe consists of five individual elements joined using specialized optical adhesive and sealed with a protective cap. This unique construction of the light pipe allows efficient transmission of light from its input surface to its output surface with minimal losses, and without the need for traditional light guide materials or optical fiber cables.

Light pipes are designed to be used within a specified range of illumination and can be configured for input angles on either end of the pipes to accommodate light sources such as LEDs and LCDs. This ensures maximum light transfer efficiency and yields superior optical performance.

The PLTR5-1000-PR1 light pipe is designed to be easily mounted in a variety of locations, and is electrically isolated so that it can be used in applications with potential electrical hazards. It is a self-contained, sealed unit which ensures total protection against dust, moisture, oil and other contaminants. It is also designed to be resistant to vibration and shock.

The structure of PLTR5-1000-PR1 light pipe consists of five square-shaped elements that are connected together in series. This allows for uniform light distribution across the pipe’s length, ensuring maximum transmission efficiency. This uniform light distribution characteristics allows for improved illumination of instruments, panels, displays and controls. A wide variety of input and output angles are available in the PLTR5-1000-PR1 pipe, allowing for flexible mounting in a variety of applications.

The PLTR5-1000-PR1 light pipes can also be used in medical applications to transmit light from the source to the patient without the need for any additional optical components. The ease of mounting and total encapsulation makes it a great choice for medical and other instrumentation applications. The total flexible pipe construction also makes it possible to form around obstacles, or through existing structures in buildings, and this offer the designer more possibilities for the design.

The PLTR5-1000-PR1 light pipe is an incredibly versatile platform for light transport, routing and illumination. Its durable construction, easy installation, wide-angle input and output capabilities, and minimal optical losses make it an ideal choice for a variety of applications, both commercial and medical.
