Light Pipes for Miniature LED Light Bulbs

Display light where you need it, even when the bulb is out of reach. Often used between a circuit board and a display, these pipes carry light from a source LED and display it on the other end of their length. They protect against diffusion, so the display will be just as bright as the source. Made of polycarbonate, they resist denting, chipping, and cracking.
