Focusing LED light through fiber optics...

Franco B:
I tried the FO cable I had but I wasnt getting enough light though, even after completely enclosing the LED and FO join with heat shrink.

There is light at the end of the tunnel (excuse the pun!) though Haruman ;)

what colour heatshrink, if it wasnt white it would absorb light and have no positive outcome im thinking

Franco B:
True, that may have been a factor although the LEDs I tested have a very narrow angle so I don't think it would have made that much of a difference using white heat shrink.

I think the real issue is that even the largest diameter FO cable possible (that you can get down the shaft) will not transmit enough light.

I have come up with a solution though that gives 100% brightness and its also killed another issue at the same time. I'll release it once I have played with tested it.  ;)
