Light Guides
Light Guides are used wherever the light of a lightsource should be distributed homogeneously over a particular area, when there is a spatial distance between light source and the area which is to be
illuminated.
ThisUse of conventional lamps such as incandescent lamp or flourescent tubes with light guides is also possible. Due to the wide radiation angle and the large package of conventional lamps, LED‘s are much more suitable for light guide systems. Detailed information about advantages of LEDs are given in the chapter „Reasons for the need of LED instead of incandescent lamps and flourescent tube“.
