Light fantastic
A family of patented technologies from Lumitex is said to enable designers to backlight or illuminate areas that have previously been problematic or unreachable.
The technologies are an extension of Lumitex’s UniGlo technology, which uses optical fibre mounted on a back reflector to create lighting panels as thin as 0.33mm.
The new technologies are BendiGlo, HoloGlo, CircleGlo and Selective Lighting.
BendiGlo is a backlighting solution for membrane switches, allowing for continuous curves around holes and protrusions such as moulded components, pegs, cables or wires, using single end or lit to center techniques.
HoloGlo preforms the optical fibre to follow paths around and between shapes and die cut holes, whilst CircleGlo can be used in one, two or three layers for backlighting circular areas. Finally, Selective Lighting creates selective area panel lighting.
