Daylight Visibility
Daylight visibility is crucial in devices used outdoors where the sun’s glare could impact how well the end-user interprets the status indicator.
The face or lens can impact a device’s daylight visibility. Look for devices that can achieve full brightness in milliseconds, even in daylight viewing conditions.

Dome Face
Light pipes are available with different tops or faces on the end where the light shines through the indicator or HMI, each with their own unique advantages.
The dome face provides the widest viewing angle of all face shapes, making it a great fit for visibility where operators need to see the indicator from different perspectives.
