Fiber Optics are precision engineered,
flexible cables, manufactured in a wide range of specifications
in glass or polymer. They are capable of transmitting light
over considerable distances without heat, electricity or ultra
violet. They deliver light either to a number of emission points
or as a continuous line of light from a single lamp, housed
in a conveniently positioned light driver. This makes fiber
optic lighting safe, economical and versatile in a wide range
of applications.
Fiber optics should be considered by anyone who is working in:
· Architectural lighting
· Special effects lighting
· Industrial maintenance
· Interior design
· Marine lighting
· Industrial inspection
· Retail design
· Landscape and pool lighting
· Scientific and technical fields
The application of fiber optic lighting is limited only by the
imagination. New applications and technological advancements
are constantly arising. Some add an extra dimension to conventional
lighting, others provide lighting solutions that conventional
products cannot.
Fiber optics is a lighting medium that is free of the constraints
of traditional lighting products. It allows the architect and
designer freedom to explore the interactions of light, space,
form and function, to push the boundaries of visual stimulation
beyond the limits and expectations imposed by the ordinary.
Today's world is so full of sensory stimulation that the extraordinary
becomes common place and the subtle may easily be lost in the
overpowering visual explosion that surrounds us. Our lives are
changing at an ever increasing pace and our expectations are
constantly raised by what we see. What was science fiction yesterday
is today's science fact.
Fiber optic lighting provides the technology to put the mystery
and magic back into our surroundings, either in breathtaking
visual displays that no other products can convey, or subtle
lighting effects that are striking in their simplicity. From
the ultimate in environmentally friendly, functional working
light, to special effects that truly ignite the imagination.

The advantages of fiber optic lighting technology are well known
and can be summed up as:
No heat:
Delicate materials can be illuminated with out damage. There
is no other heat load added to the environment, reducing the
demand placed on air conditioning systems. Personal work spaces
are more comfortable and risk of injury in public places is
eliminated.
Low maintenance:
Once installed, fiber optic cables require minimum maintenance.
This allows the use of light in areas where traditional lighting
cannot be considered. In high ceilings, behind glass panels,
in ground fittings or under water, fiber optics open up new
areas of lighting possibilities.
Economical Operation:
Fiber optics are capable of delivering light to multiple points
of illumination from a single light driver, making them economical
to run. Having only one light driver also means that there is
only one lamp to replace, reducing maintenance of light drivers.
Flexibility and Creativity:
Fiber optic systems have featured in television, stage and film
productions and are increasingly used in prominent art works.
Applications range from the conservation of artistic works and
historical artifacts, to shop displays of jewelers, cosmetics
and many other items that may be adversely affected by the limitations
of conventional lighting.
Architectural and landscape lighting benefit from imaginative
applications of fiber optics and there are significant advantages
in marine and transport installations.
No ultra violet (UV):
This makes fiber optic lighting ideal for workstations and for
illumination of delicate objects where colour fading may be
an issue.
Other Benefits:
They require no specialist installation and are safe to use
in public areas and outdoors. They are totally safe to use in
water and intrinsically safe for use in hazardous areas.
