what is this material?
Doggo outgrew lite up collar but it's just led attached to this clear nylon or pvc piping. Feel like if I knew what the tubing material was I could probably find some. This is 8mm OD.
Tough to tell from a picture alone, but maybe something like this?

Yep, it’s PMMA cable.
That would be what they are looking for.
Fibre optic with side scatter.
That totally looks like it to me
That looks spot on but it's way more expensive than a new collar😅. Figured it would be really cheap by the foot but maybe I just need to get the new collar!
As someone else in this thread said, that is PMMA, basically acrylic. I work a ton with the stuff to distribute light to displays and indicators when designing hardware prototypes. I also had dogs once, same stuff really.
FYI there's another style of LED collar which is not a full collar but rather a rectangular strip of LEDs that you can attach to any collar. That way it can't be outgrown.
Have a brand / name?
I'm walking him ATM but it looks like it says "Nite Ize" on the side
Would you mind posting a link? ☺️
Bought mine at a pet shop
That's a really good question, I bet you could drill down the categories on https://www.mcmaster.com/ and find it there
Maybe the ldpe rods here https://www.mcmaster.com/products/plastics/plastic~/
Looks like PVC tubing:
$4.82 for 10 feet with free shipping.
Maybe pic didn't do it justice. It's not really tubing. It's solid so light can scatter through it.
Oh hmm I see what you mean. Not sure what keywords to try. I'll give it some thought.
I don't know if it is possible to make PVC transparent, but I would guess that's what it is.
