 in large quantities.
These light pipes are available from ETTINGER in different sizes. Assembly is simply a matter of pressing them into holes in the PCB (the diameter varies depending on the size of the conductor). You have the choice between semicircular and flattened light emission surfaces. Pressing is performed from either the front or back.
Also available from ETTINGER – light pipes for rectangular displays with different center heights and square lenses.
Double light pipes are conductors with two separate displays for SMD LEDs with low space requirements. They can be easily mounted side-by-side with a minimum clearance of 5.08 mm.
Quadruple combination light pipes are particularly suitable for SMD LEDs. This arrangement prevents crosstalk between the individual stations. Multiple light pipes are particularly suitable for highly sensitive applications in the transmission range of critical displays. The clear arrangement of the fiber-optic cables ensures a defined placement and high transmission quality, even when space is severely limited. With this module, the disadvantages of individual arrangements are avoided and the development and production costs reduced. The modules can also be stacked in mixed combinations thanks to the corresponding holes and catches.
Flexible light pipes are particularly suitable for SMD LED technology. The bent light pipes are fixed on the PCB with two centering pins (for example). SMD light pipes are also available from ETTINGER with push-on adapters in different socket heights. Our flexible light pipes are made of clear polycarbonate.

About 4 years ago now I watched (relative to your own disposition) liberal hippie lunatic / super-genius Noam Chomsky give a little talk in Braden Auditorium. He had no shortage of unique ideas to throw at the people that came, but among them, he summed up more with one sentence than I think I’ve ever heard a sentence sum up with it’s summing.
“There is nothing in life more difficult than seeing yourself in the mirror.”
The list of meanings that one sentence can pile on is endless. Personally it applies to me in this moment a sense of how often we forget that we’re writing our lives own narratives.. and abuse that fundamental ability to think ourselves into a corner like a confused irobot that bumped into the cat. So at the start of another year, I’ve decided that I’m done doing that. I’m done pretending that I have any actual problems, down to even the smallest things that bother me, that there aren’t solutions for… most of them pretty simple (unless barring some sort of disease I don’t yet know about).
Even though I constantly forget, I’ve had this perspective since one particular moment I can remember when I was 16. After taking over my dad’s old van, I inherited an old Crown Victoria, like right out of the Blues Brothers. It was a fantastic 2.5 ton car which I got into far more car chases with than any car since.Unfortunately I only have a (kind of dated) picture of the van. Pretend it’s a car.. it will make the story better.
One day not long at all into driving that car, I learned that 2.5 tons of steel + original tires from when the car was first built 15 years earlier + rain meant that it could stop from 30 in about 100 yards. This information was not altogether useful to me though, because on this day, I learned that the car could also stop just as easily in about 20 yards should something get in the way. Something did.
I myself was fine.. I somehow drove home with the hood sticking straight up, showed my parents the completely crushed half of my car. My dad told me what I knew but didn’t want to hear- that it was totaled, and even though it was just a car.. I had been more than a little excited about all of this having a car business, and I was pretty upset.
I spent a couple hours locked up in my room before my dad came down, and explained to me he was pretty sure we could find all the parts it needed from a junkyard. I didn’t hesitate to point out the fact that he fixed appliances, not cars.. there’s no way we could reassemble the more important half of a Crown Victoria from random pieces. My dad then gave me the same sort of answer to that sort of question that he always has as long as I’ve known him.. which I had never taken seriously.
“I can fix anything”
Said in sort of a dismissive and joking tone. I’ve taken that mentality to heart ever since, because it wasn’t a few days later that we had everything in front of the car’s windshield in zip-lock bags with labels, half of which were mostly meaningless to us. About two weeks of work passed in the garage, and when we were done.. despite the piles of spare parts… the car ran even better than it did before. We even re-painted each of the new pieces with the same tacky two tone look that the car had to begin with.
I’ll end this cheesy sunscreen-song-esque rant by simply saying that same mentality has stuck with me ever since. Don’t think yourself into a corner and don’t be beat up by circumstance in 2009, and I won’t either.DACONO -- Dispensaries are legal in Dacono again. But it's not as simple as unlocking a door and saying "Welcome back."
Since local voters repealed the ban of medical marijuana businesses Tuesday, city officials have been busy. There's forms to revise and fees to set, ideally all by the end of next week, so that the city's three former dispensaries can be invited to re-apply.
It's busy on the business side, too. Brad Henson of Dacono Meds, who's also working on opening a dispensary in Sedgwick, noted that he's coming back from a dead stop. His license has been moved, his Dacono stock destroyed, his state application and background check have to be re-done from scratch.
"It's going to be rough," he said. "I've had lost wages since Jan. 1."
The repeal vote, which will be certified Monday, allows no more than three dispensaries in Dacono. That's how many there already were until Jan. 1, when a city ordinance forced Dacono Meds, MaryJane's Medicinal and Green Medicals to close their doors. Once applications are available, those three will have a 90-day head start to apply for a local license.
Neither MaryJane's nor Green Medicals could be reached for comment about their plans. Henson said he hoped to have his manager Karen Nab operate the Dacono location while he concentrated on Sedgwick.
"It really depends on the fee schedules for Dacono," he said. "I'm hoping they'll keep it reasonable."
The same ballot issue that invited the dispensaries back in also set standards they now have to follow. Among them:
The dispensary's activities have to be kept out of sight, and no marijuana or related equipment can be displayed in public view. Smoke, odors and other debris have to be contained inside the business.
Signs may not appeal to minors, may not advertise in a way "inconsistent with the medical use of marijuana," may not use sign wavers or twirlers, and can't be held by people within 1,000 feet of a park, recreation center or school.
The dispensary has to maintain security cameras and burglar alarms.
The dispensary has to pay sales taxes, application fees and license fees. Dacono hasn't set the last two yet; city clerk Valerie Taylor said the places she's researched have ranged between $1,000 and $5,000 for the initial application and $1,000 to $2,000 a year for a license.
The dispensary owner has to let the city inspect the place, both before the license is issued and during business hours or other times that work is going on.
There's a long list of places where dispensaries can't go, which effectively limits them to light industrial zones. The three former dispensaries temporarily have an exclusion from this, if needed to re-inhabit their old premises, but must find a suitable site by 2015. Dispensaries also can't buddy up and set up shop inside another dispensary.
Taylor said the turnaround time for business licenses would depend on how quickly the Colorado Bureau of Investigation finished the background checks of any applicants.
At a local level, she said, the applications would take more time for her office to process since so much more is involved -- among other things, applicants have to submit a business plan, a scale diagram of the business, a copy of the deed or lease, and permission for a full background check and investigation of the dispensary's financial records.
Even without that time, Henson said, it was still going to take a while to get going again.
"It took three years to build that clinic," he said. "But basically, we can recover, re-open and do it again."
