Patented Lightpipe Technology Features Splash-Proof, Dual-Color Halo Ring
Lumex announces the global launch of the TransBrite™ family of light pipe technology for LEDs in both standard and custom formats created with state-of-the-art ray trace software with precise 3D CAD/CAM models to ensure optimal design for light transmittance.
Part of the new Lumex TransBrite light pipe family, the patented Halo Ring™ light pipe makes it possible to add visible dual-color indicator lights on switches with efficiency and performance unmatched in the market today. The Halo Ring is mounted not to a PCB but rather directly to the panel, generating real-estate savings of up to 10% on the PCB board and up to 20% inside the technology cabinet. Product design is simplified as indicator lights can be quickly and easily integrated into the panel without creating the need to redesign the PCB board.
The Halo Ring´s unique design also provides dual-color performance from a single light pipe without color mixing. Allowing a single dual-color light pipe to replace two individual light pipes generates up to 15% real estate savings on the display panel as separate holes are no longer needed for different indicator colors.
The Halo Ring is designed for optimal performance in challenging environments. It´s unique dual-ring plus gasket design provides a protective rubber layer in front of the indicator light, making the technology splash and water-proof (IP rating 67) The Halo Ring features a wide viewing angle (120°) and an extended temperature range of -40°C to 100°C to ensure high visibility even in extreme conditions.
Due to its ability to generate significant real-estate savings and market-leading durability, the Halo Ring is ideally suited for a wide number of portable and extreme environment applications including:
