Flexible Light Guides
Flexible Light Guides – an Elegant Product Design Solution
MENTOR Flexible Light Guides are an elegant and cost-effective solution for many product design challenges. The Light Guides can also be a very useful workaround when redesigning a product during a mid-life upgrade cycle.
So flexible they can be tied into knots!
Made from PU, the Light Guides are very flexible – you can literally tie them into knots and the light will still shine through.
Simple Push-fit and Low MOQs
Designed for use with SMD TOPLEDS, the Light Guides fit into a Polycarbonate housing which is held in place on the PCB with two press-in lugs. As standard, a transparent lens is supplied and the MOQ for standard parts is just one piece. More…
Options and Customisation
MENTOR offers other flexible solutions for SMD and THT LEDs with 1000 μm, 2000 μm and 3000 μm fibres. Coloured lenses are available as are custom lengths.
