Review on πŸ”Œ 36-inch PMMA Plastic Optic Fiber Side Glow Cable for LED Light Source (4mm) by Gus Pierson

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Weak sideglow and bad packaging

Sideglow effect is weak. Most of the light gets to the other end of the cable (end glow). When illuminated with a pure white LED, the side glow is blue instead of white (see figure). Instead of coiling the cord for shipping, the seller fanned it out (like the letter "W") and stuffed it into an undersized envelope. As a result, the inner fibers became twisted and damaged, resulting in multiple areas of uneven glow (indicated by red arrows in image). The cable I received was useless for side glows but still good for edge glows.

Pros
  • Keeping my fists
Cons
  • boring packaging
