Manufacturers : Lighting products : Light guides
Light guides (light pipes, light conduits or light tubes) are used to transmit light from a light source to a remote location with relatively low transmission losses. Light guides are utilized to expose photocurable materials to high intensity visible light to change the materials from a paste-like putty to a substance having the hardness of ceramic or glass in a few seconds. A light source can be used to illuminate one or more light guides such that light is transmitted through the light guides via total internal reflection. Light guides may provide side lighting, in which light is emitted from the sides of the guides, and end lighting, in which light is emitted from the end of the guides. A light guide typically includes at least one surface adapted to receive light from a light source and an optically smooth surface for reflecting light propagating through the light guide. Light entering the light guide within an acceptable angular range is contained by total internal reflection as it travels along the length of the light guide. Optically transmissive materials, such as glass or polymers may be used as a light guide to propagate light. Light guides are commonly manufactured using optical lighting film (OLF). A typical OLF is made of a relatively thin sheet of transparent material having a linear array of prisms embossed or otherwise formed at one side of the sheet. Light guides can also be used to effectively distribute decorative or functional light over relatively large areas. Functional lighting refers to lighting that is used for the purpose of illuminating an object or area to make the object or area more conspicuous. Decorative lighting refers to lighting that is used for aesthetic purposes. Often, light guides are used for both functional and decorative purposes.
