LEDs ‘redefine’ atmospheric illumination

Distributor, Foremost Electronics, says that the M-Tube LED light systems from optoelectronics designer Mentor, use LED technology in a revolutionary way to provide total light reflection in a clear light guide bar. The light from the LEDs is passed homogeneously to the surroundings along a printed reflector surface area so the angle of departure can be adjusted independently, depending on the alignment of the light guide bar. The modular LED lighting system consists of a number of individual components including the light guide, accompanying clamping sleeve and two casings. To provide illumination on both sides, two LED casings are required and for one sided illumination, one LED casing and one empty casing is required. Alan Cook, managing director of Foremost Electronics, said: "The introduction of the M-Tube LED lighting systems opens new markets for Foremost Electronics allowing us to supply not only our traditional electrical and electronic customers but also the growing market of industrial and architectural lighting. The M-Tube LED lighting systems provide a low energy consumption, minimal heat generation, simple to install, very flexible lighting solution which require minimum maintenance and will find a wide number of applications." Applications for the M-Tube lighting systems include architectural lighting, industrial electronics and switchgear illumination.
