M-Fibre: Lateral diffusion optical fibre
Thin, flexible and offering perfect homogeneity even over long lengths and narrow bending radii: this is M-Fibre, our new side-emitting fibre optic system. Consisting of powerful and compact LED modules, suitable drivers and side-emitting fibre optics in different lengths, it allows you to integrate high-quality functional or decorative light into a wide variety of products and applications. This way, you can add functional, aesthetic and emotional added value to your product.
Whether direct linear light or indirect ambient solutions, standard items available from stock or custom components, we work with you to create a tailor-made solution for your products.
In addition to the high flexibility of the system and the remarkable quality of light, the new technology, which is largely free of tooling, has other advantages: low initial costs and short development times.
The applications of M-Fibre are extremely diverse. Some examples: the fields of automotive, machine tools, home automation and building technology, furniture for domestic and professional use, household appliances, as well as security technology or smart clothing or luggage. Thanks to the physical separation of the light source and the light outlet, M-Fibre can be used underwater, in explosion-proof areas and in the food industry. Free-form surfaces can also be integrated without any difficulty.
