WHAT IS FIBER OPTIC LIGHTING？

WHAT IS Fiber optic lighting ？

There are two types of lighting possible using fiber optic technology. One is 

side light, a neon type band of light composed of several individual strands 

housed in a clear P.V.C. jacket. Sidelight is used primarily to “frame” objects,

such as swimming pools, spas, decks, signs or almost anything you can imagine.

The second application is endlight. Endlight uses the same individual strands of

fiber, but it is usually housed in a solid, non see-through jacket. We carry several

fixtures that attach to the end of this cable. These fixtures may be illuminated by

as little as one fiber or as many as 300. The application will determine which

fixtures plus how many fiber strands will work best. Effects such as star ceilings,

commercial signage, under water lighting, landscape fixtures, architectural

illumination etc., are ideal candidates for endlight.

The key to a successful project is of course the illuminator or light engine. We

manufacture a variety of models, all designed to maximize light output for

each individual application.
