Apr 09, 2003 Luxauraâ„¢ Light Guide is an acrylic rod that creates solid-state light source when attached to LEDs that provide light and color. It does not have any gas, glass, or filament. Co-extruded 3-part structure is composed of outer clad, acrylic polymer core, and reflector strip that radiates light from guide. Clear, UV-resistant solid-core rod can be easily shaped, once heated, to fit many designs. Luxauraâ„¢ comes in 6.5, 10, and 14 mm dia and lengths up to 6 ft.
