MENTOR Light Pipe, 26mm, Panel Mount, Transparent

The MENTOR Light Pipe is a precision-engineered optical component designed to efficiently channel light from LEDs to a front panel for clear indication and display. It is a countersink front-panel light guide specifically recommended for use with a wide range of LEDs, including types L1 to L12.

Its versatile design allows for both horizontal arrangements with SMD SIDELEDs and vertical installations with SMD TOPLEDs or SMD CHIPLEDs, which can be inserted deep into the front panel. Assembly is remarkably straightforward, requiring only a simple press-fit into a pre-drilled hole in the panel, eliminating the need for complex tools or fasteners.

This light pipe is ideal for creating LED type displays with even, uniform surfaces. It helps to ease visualisation of status indicators and allows for a clean, flush fastening to the front panel, resulting in a professional and integrated appearance. Constructed from durable, transparent material, it ensures optimal light transmission with minimal loss.

Built to withstand demanding conditions, it features a UL94 flammability rating and is rated for an ambient temperature range of -40 to 85°C, making it suitable for rigorous industrial environments and specialised lighting applications where reliability is critical.
