the light source will be a 5mm led.. and the light has to pass thru... but the light has to the walls of this light tube as there will be some marks that needs to be read.
We have also tried side lighted fiber optics but the light that is being given out is not strong enough on the walls...
Yes you are right, Mcgyver, you can call it a light pipe.. but at this thickness it does break..the tube can bend a little but it should not break... the tip actually will be used to measure length..
