Light tube / reflector.
I intend mounting a PCB with LED mounted on it inside a case. I need to know the search term for the light guide the lets the light be seen on the outside of the case. It is usually a Perspex rod.
TIA John.

Re: light tube / reflector
I have tried the above searches, nearest I get is LED Lampshades. If I search that I get what you have hanging from the ceiling. The ones I found have a recess for the LED, this is not what I wanted. They are usually solid rod with a dome on top.
