VCC's LPC Series 4mm Litepipe® is designed for use with both vertical and horizontal surface mount LEDs where the Litepipe® is attached directly to the display panel. Combining the physical attachment advantage with the fact that the Litepipe® is available in eighty-one lengths, the designer now has complete freedom in the positioning of the circuit board within the chassis. These features allow for easy board insertion in final assembly or removal for inspection and repair.
The display lens design of the Litepipe® is low-profile with Fresnel rings. The Litepipe® lens will disperse the light up to 160°. The light receiving end of the Litepipe® has a concave surface designed to be positioned in front of the horizontal surface mounted LED or directly over the top of the vertical surface mounted LED. This concave surface maximizes the gathering of the LED light output, increasing the efficiency of the Litepipe® display. The Litepipe® mixes and blends the LED multi-colors into a single color as the light passes through the uniquely designed Litepipe® surfaces.
These Litepipes® are tubular in shape, molded from an optical grade of acrylic plastic for clarity with highly polished surfaces for optimum light refraction and transmission. The LPC is secured directly to the display panel by means of a retaining clip (RTN 250) or grommet (RTN 150). You will find the RTN product specifications in the LPC catalog page.
