Custom Light Pipes
What are Light Pipes?
Light pipes are components that carry light in a controlled area and defined size from point A to point B with high efficiency. For designs that require multiple indicators, light pipes are an ideal solution due to their low cost, excellent visual communication, and design flexibility.
VCC combines experience and state-of-the-art technology to develop custom designs with proven efficiency. Our multidisciplinary team includes mechanical, optical, and electrical engineers who understand the complexities of light pipe design, such as:
- Materials
- Placement
- Optical geometry
- Coatings
- Viewing angle
Many factors can impact the overall performance, cost, and life of an indicator. We ask the right questions upfront to ensure your custom light pipe is the perfect fit for the application, environment, and device.
The whole process can take as little as 2 weeks or as long as 12 — it all depends on the complexity of the design. VCC collaborates with product designers to deliver custom solutions that exceed their expectations.
