LED light pipe assemblies

13 May 2009 Opto-Electronics

New LED light pipe assemblies from Tyco Electronics provide a convenient and easy-to-use way to achieve accent lighting. With versions for both low- and high-intensity LEDs, the system uses a linear LED light source and a large-core optical fibre to project light the length of the light pipe. An integrated reflector in the light pipe allows light to be directionally emitted along its length. Applications include accent lighting in commercial buildings, appliances, rail, motor vehicles, marine and commercial aircraft.

The low-intensity light engine assembly includes both a 0,5 W LED and an integrated DC driver and does not require any additional heatsink or forced air cooling. The high-intensity light socket assemblies accept industry-standard starboard-style 1- to 5-Watt LEDs commercially available from a number of vendors in many colours. The assembly includes a heatsink to address the thermal issues of using high-power LEDs.

The light pipes, available in diameters of 5 mm and 10 mm and lengths up to 2 m, are made of optical-grade acrylic. Light pipe bracket slots allow the assembly’s reflector strip to be oriented in four different positions for directional lighting flexibility.
