LITEPIPES FOR SURFACE MOUNT LEDs
APPLICATION – CLIPLITE litepipes provide a
method of transmitting the light of a surface mount LED to
the display panel. Both vertical and horizontal PCB surface
mount LEDs can be displayed in this manner. The litepipe is
also capable of blending multicolor LED light into a
single color.
INTENSITY – CLIPLITE litepipes have a unique near
flush design and are still able to provide up to 160 degrees
of viewing angle. This light output is achieved by the use
of a concave shaped receiving surface which collects the
LEDs light, and fresnel rings on the opposite surface that
disperse the light.
VERSATILITY – CLIPLITE litepipes are available in
.020" increments from .200" to 2.0". This wide range of
lengths simplifies the PCB positioning in relation to the
display panel. Litepipes are secured directly to the display
panel with no mechanical attachment to the PCB. The
installation and removal of the circuit board can thus be
accomplished without disturbing the display panel.
