Future Electronics Promotes New Diffused Light Pipe Family from VCC

Pointe Claire, Quebec (realtimepressrelease) January 7, 2016 – Future Electronics, a global leading distributor of electronic components, has announced immediate availability of the new, diffused light pipe family from VCC, with a frosted surface providing a soft appearance in dark environments.

VCC, the global leader in indication and specialty illumination solutions, has designed a family of rigid light pipes with a diffused, frosted surface texture for enhanced scattering of bright field light, providing a softer glow. The 3mm LFB Series and 5mm LFC Series litepipes™ easily extend light from the board to the desired surface for applications where bright, hot indication would not be visually appealing.

Examples of typical applications for VCC’s 3mm LFB Series and 5mm LFC Series litepipes include audio/video equipment, IoT equipment, darkroom equipment, home theater & entertainment systems, medical equipment, security systems, studio control panels, transportation dashboards, and more.

VCC’s LFB and LFC Series litepipes are made of optical grade polycarbonate for maximum light transmission, with a round surface that reduces the luminous intensity, ensures uniform brightness, and has a wide 120 degree viewing angle.

“Our diffused light pipe products are designed with a frosted surface designed for operation in dark environments where a bright indicator is not required, and may even be an annoyance to spectators. The frosted diffused light pipe takes the edge off the brightness, while still offering a 120 degree viewing angle,” explained Sannah Vinding, Director of Product Development & Marketing for VCC.

RoHS and Reach compliant, the LFB Series litepipes with RTN112 retainers and LFC Series litepipes with RTN125 retainers are now in stock with immediate shipping availability from Future Electronics.
