Sumario:As the completion of the LHCb detector approaches we report on the status of the Ring Imaging Cherenkov (RICH) detectors that provide light hadron particle identification. The design and status of the two detectors RICH1 and RICH2 is explored and an overview is given of the photon detector technology the Hybrid Photon Detector. RICH1 is a more compact system working at lower particle momenta closer to the interaction point and is currently nearing completion. RICH2 is a larger detector operating at higher momenta and is complete and currently being commissioned.
