Production of our Lightsolution

Building Blocks Optical fibers, Tube, Ferrule, End cap

The structure of diffLUX® flexible diffusing light guides is particularly effective: they consist of one or more optical plastic fibers, which we treat with a special, patented process so that they can scatter light evenly along their sides. In addition, the ferrule is an essential component of every diffLUX® flexible diffusing light guide. A ferrule is the part where the fibers and the tube are connected. A ferrule is generally made of aluminum, but can also be made of plastic. The fibers are glued or clamped into the ferrule. The ferrule has the task of creating a mechanical connection with a light source. Through it, the light is guided into the fibers. The fibers themselves are enclosed by a protective tube, which is usually white, flexible and diffusing, but can also be transparent or rigid. An end cap closes the protective tube and prevents anything from getting inside.

Baseline product & Testing

With diffLUX® flexible diffusing light guides from Ilumae, you are choosing a quality product made in Germany. Our customers trust us to deliver only high-quality, fully performing and robust products. And to ensure that we fully live up to this trust at all times, quality control plays a very important role in our manufacturing process. Directly after their assembly, every single diffLUX® flexible diffusing light guide is intensively and conscientiously checked by us for its quality and functionality. For this purpose, we do not only rely on our human eye, but also use a camera specially developed for this purpose, which checks the brightness and homogeneity of the light distribution of the diffLUX® flexible diffusing light guides.

Individualization / individual product

With diffLUX® flexible diffusing light guides from Ilumae, you are not buying an off-the-shelf product. We know how diverse the application scenarios are and how different the requirements can be that our products have to meet. For this reason, we have optimized our production so that we can also produce diffLUX® flexible diffusing light guides for you in smaller quantities that specifically meet your individual requirements. diffLUX® flexible diffusing light guides can be used with one or two light sources, for example, as well as being manufactured from different raw materials, and we can also offer you individual and flexible lighting solutions that fully meet the desired application purpose through other adjustments in production or light diffusion. The hardness and substance resistance of diffLUX® flexible diffusing light guides can be adapted, for example, and diffLUX® flexible diffusing light guides can also be optimized for environmental influences such as direct sunlight, heat, cold or stronger temperature fluctuations.

Customer / Integration by the Customer

diffLUX® flexible diffusing light guides are optimized to be particularly versatile and easy to process. Today, a large number of companies from the architecture, automotive, interior design, entertainment and vending industries are already using diffLUX® flexible diffusing light guides to enhance their products and offer their customers a special user experience through the targeted use of light. This also applies, for example, to beverage vending machines and snack machines such as those shown in the example image. Here, in addition to the trays or the dispensing tray, the buttons can also be illuminated with the help of diffLUX® flexible diffusing light guides. Especially in the evening, at night or indoors, the customer thus experiences a particularly pleasant shopping experience through the careful use of light.
