Back to cleaning up my previous audio post production workshop spare parts. Closed and "retired" from the game quite some time ago and I am ever so slowly working through the bits and pieces that need to find new workshops to "live in"
I am very much "into" sustainability, a manufactured component (no matter how small) represents an appreciable amount of embedded energy and to waste that embedded energy is a very bad thing, even worse is to bury it in landfill and subsequently poison our environment!
What is embedded energy?
Embedded energy is a measurement of the total energy that was used to create a component, a module or a complete piece of equipment originally and should include all processes used in the manufacture of the item, from obtaining the raw materials, processing them, making the product and then shipping to another manufacturer in the "chain" or being supplied directly to stores as a finished product for retail sale.
Here is yet more of the optical spare parts I have unearthed today ...
UNIDENTIFIED MANUFACTURER - 5mm LED Reflective Mount
Unfortunately these were in a plastic packet without any identification markings .... I have no idea where or by whom they were made.
Material: Metalised plastic, highly reflective inside
Designed to fit a standard 5mm LED, insertion from the rear.
Most often these were used by us for front panel displays in situations where if the LED turned on, it needed to be easily visible, even in daylight - we used these with clear lens, medium intensity coloured LED's
DIMENSIONS:
Front (external) diameter is 11.85mm
Front (inside) diameter is 9.25mm - this is approximately the panel hole size you will need to mount this reflector.
Front to Back length: 9mm
COSMETIC CONDITION:
NEW Old Stock
Clean
NO damage at all
Each reflective mount is individually packed, I am fine supplying just one or the lot (an automatic discount applies when purchasing more than one - no minimum's apply)
