Side Glow 5MM Side Light Fiber Optic Cable, 1 meter length

Light in the fiber optic cable zooms through the core by constantly bouncing off of the edge of the molded plastic, a principle called "total internal reflection". When the light pipe doesn't have total reflection, you can get a nifty lighting effect from the light illuminating the plastic tubing.
This tube is 5mm diameter, made of flexible plastic and when lit with a powerful LED, has a nice glowing effect. You can cut it down from 1 meter with diagonal cutters.

Note: This is just a transparent tube, and does not include an emitter LED, also called a light engine.

A Light Engine is what will give it it's color. See Related Products below.
