SparkFun CBI Light Pipe for SMD LEDs 5mm - Right Angle

The 5mm right-angle light pipe is designed to channel the illumination from an LED through the end plate of an enclosure. Compatible with SMD LEDs up to 1206 size and addressable LEDs as small as 2x2mm, it features a secure clip that can be easily inserted and removed. The black housing effectively prevents light bleed between adjacent indicators.This light pipe is perfect for projects where precise LED indication is needed, such as custom electronics enclosures or control panels. Its design ensures that the light is directed exactly where it's needed, enhancing the visibility of your indicators without compromising on space.One of the standout benefits is the ease of use; the clip securely holds the light pipe in place while still allowing for easy removal if adjustments are necessary. This flexibility makes it ideal for prototypes or projects that require frequent modifications.With its efficient design, this light pipe minimizes the number of GPIO pins needed, as all circuit board indicators can be controlled with just one. This makes it a cost-effective solution for complex electronic designs, offering both simplicity and functionality.
