This fibre optic light source is a high-powered white LED cluster designed to feed light into fibre optic tubes and light pipes. It produces a bright, cool white output at up to 1 watt, with the metal body acting as a built-in heat sink for reliable continuous operation.
Installation is simple — loosen the clear knob on the emitter, slide in a compatible fibre optic tube, and tighten. Power it with 9–12V DC at 100mA for full brightness. The LED uses total internal reflection to send light through the fibre optic core, creating smooth, even illumination along the tube.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- DC
- DC means direct current, where electricity flows in one constant direction, as supplied by batteries, USB ports and many plug-pack power supplies. When a product specifies DC, it runs from a DC supply rather than mains AC, so you need to provide the correct voltage and polarity.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode (LED) is a small electronic component that emits light when current flows through it in the correct direction. Because it only conducts one way, its polarity matters, and a through-hole LED must be soldered the correct way around to light up.
