MENTOR’s standard range offers a diverse spectrum of ultra-high-quality standard light guides. It includes front-panel mounted designs as well as horizontal light guides or vertical PCB-mounted light guides, single and multiple light guides, bargraph indicators, different head shapes and varied lengths including miniaturised solutions and flexible light guide systems.
Despite this enormous range, custom light guides are occasionally the optimum solution. For example, when a specific radiating characteristic is required, the modification of a PCB or front panel is difficult to achieve or a totally new lighting design is needed, MENTOR is the obvious first port-of-call.

Custom light guides without tooling cost!?
Customers often need a light guide to be a specific length in order to fit with their design. MENTOR's intelligent tooling strategy means we are able to provide custom solutions with little or no tooling cost and at low MOQs.
In this Light Guide / Light Pipe Micro-site, light guides that are suitable for extensive customisation but some tooling costs will be necessary are marked with a the symbol:
Light guides for which length (Dimension A) can be customised with little or no tooling-cost are marked with the symbol:
(the plus symbolises the outstanding cost effectiveness of the solution!)
We have recently introduced a new range of M-CUT custom light guides. Our special opto design and manufacturing techniques allow us to deliver sheet-based custom bargraph, solid strip and area light guides of almost any shape and size in 2 dimensions.
