Fibre Optics can be a highly effective way to add a wow factor to your interiors and landscapes. Fibre optics can effectively create up lighting on steps and highlighting to signage. It can also be decorative and sculptural, providing delineation, and statements, for example in floor glass or star ceiling.
Fibre Optic lighting systems typically consist of three major components:
• The light source, which contains the lamp, control
gear and filters
• The fibres, usually a number of fibre bundles formed
into a harness, with individual tails to each lighting point
• The end fittings, which secure and protect the end of each
fibre tail and control the emission of light
Examples of use: Anzac Flame, Star ceiling
Advantages: • Extremely safe as no electricity is transmitted through the fibre
optic cable to the end light point
• Versatility due to the flexible characteristics of fibre optic cable
• No maintenance at the end light point
• Vandal resistant as there is no lamp at the end light point
• High quality fittings including stainless steel and anodized aluminum
• Energy efficiency as only one single 100 watt lamp is required
in the illuminator, which can transmit lighting to numerous light point locations
• No heat emitted at the light point making fibre optic lighting safe and ideal
for heat sensitive product displays, e.g. museums, hazardous areas, etc.
• Colour changing capabilities that can be controlled with a simple switch,
intelligent home automation lighting systems and key ring remote controls
