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.
