Flexible Light Pipes

When your design requires light to move longer distances, making its way around PCB obstacles, you need flexible light pipes from Bivar. Our flexible light pipes offer many mounting and built-in LED options to meet your luminosity requirements and adapters, with ESD protection for sensitive components. Need a customized approach? We can do that, too.
