The supplier has said that we can return these, or, use them. If you have ordered, please let us know what you want to do. I'll send out pm's on this, too.

What we have are 40" lengths of rigid and flexible pipes that, if required, can be trimmed down equally from both ends to keep the light output uniform.

The new parts will be made specifically for the two lengths required for the dash.

We are expecting new samples within the next week just to confirm everything.

So have you seen them? Are they basically the tyco types?

sjmautoprod · 12-12-2011, 09:32 PM

They do the same thing as the Tyco pipes, just in a different way, and, we do have these parts on-hand. I'll see if I can get decent pictures of the full, 40" lengths emitting light.

As promised, here is a shot of the full, 40" length driven by an LED on each end.

When you have the lengths specifically for the dash, I'll take an order.

Okay!

To clarify, due to the dimming seen in the middle of longer lengths, the solid stripe changes to a tuned pattern for better light distribution. I have asked for the length at which this change occurs.

We may end up stocking a version that can be cut down into "short" pieces along with specific lengths for other applications.

I don't see any dimming in this pic, that's why I want it. Is that the full 40" pictured?

sjmautoprod · 12-13-2011, 09:07 AM

Heh, yes, that is what I posted.

bigwayne3000 · 12-13-2011, 07:57 PM

I know that since these have to be cut equally that they arent usable for the dash but would these need to also be cut down for the doors or are they ok as is?

sjmautoprod · 12-13-2011, 08:42 PM

Hmm. I'm not yet sure about the length that is required for the doors. I'll check on this and report back!

so the pipe actually isn't 100% the same all the way across?

No, from what I understand, with LEDs attached to both ends (not included), the pipe has something midway through it to keep the light from dimming at the center. If you cut it shorter at one end, the center won't be the center anymore. So you have to cut it at both ends equally. This is why I'm gonna wait for exact sizes that I need.
