Fibre Optic Light Guides
Light Guides are the components that efficiently transmit light from the source to the area of interest. Fibre optic illumination is ideal in situations where bright, even, and adjustable light with minimal heat transfer is required.

LED Ring Lights
LEDs offer a cost effective alternative to fibre optic illumination. While relatively inexpensive, LED right lights are slightly less diffuse, and have a high colour temperature. Some models have the ability to turn individual segments on and off, and all offer the ability to easily adjust brightness.
Other sizes and colours are available. Let us know if you have questions.
