Used for display and signage applications, lighting solutions combining light guide and LED have become essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Their ability to emphasize lines and create signatures make them particularly attractive to designers and architects. Their low thickness and robustness allow them to be easily integrated into many systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, their exceptional ability to guide light makes it possible to produce large luminous surfaces with excellent uniformity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In these guides, LEDs are placed on the side and not under the surface to be illuminated. This arrangement makes it possible to reduce the number of LEDs while obtaining large, uniformly luminous surfaces in an extremely compact volume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The reduction in the number of LEDs results in lower manufacturing costs for the manufacturer and a reduction in the system\u2019s power consumption for the end customer. Indeed, to obtain a uniformity of 80% on the surface over such a small distance using LEDs placed under the surface, much more effort is needed than in the case of tangential lighting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The low thickness of the guides (only a few millimeters) allows them to be easily integrated into many display and signage systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, the design and production of light guides to achieve the desired luminance, uniformity, and illuminance require first-rate know-how and technical resources. Thanks to their vast industrial experience, their leading optical simulation tools, and their photometry laboratory<\/a>, PIS\u00c9O experts can reliably and efficiently support you in developing all types of lighting systems based on light guides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
