Fibre Optic Lighting

Hello and welcome to Fibre Optic Lighting. At this site you will find information about all types of fibre optic lighting. Fibre optic lighting covers a wide range of things, so please browse until you find what you need. Basically, it can be divided into two distinct sub-sections, one is home/commercial lighting, this is for general purpose lighting. The second is for decorative lighting.

Fibre optic lighting is an interesting and relatively new technology. It uses less energy than most other light sources, making it greener. They also tend to last far longer than traditional lighting fixtures. However, it does tend to cost more money upfront.

Fiber Optic lighting is the technology of transmitting light from a universal element (illuminator) via an acrylic cable solid or standard core) to a fixture or feature.

Fibre optic lighting does not heat up like most other light sources. It consistently stays cool. Because of this, fibre optic lighting is great for things like commercial freezers or museums, where the items being lit cannot get too hot or they will be damaged. This light also does not fade objects at all.

Most other lighting sources use an ultraviolet light which emits harmful rays. Fibre optic lighting uses a bright white source, making it safer to use in the home and in a business.

This lighting also works well outside or in wet/damp places. It will not shock or electrocute you like electric lighting.

It is important not to confuse fiber optic lighting with services like Verizon FIOS, which uses a different type of fiber optics, in a cable form.

Utilitarian fiber optic lighting:

Residential Fiber Optic Lighting

There are many uses for fiber optic lighting within your home. It gives a very unique look for your interior spaces. The light given off from fiber optic lighting is generally described as a ‘glow’. It is not harsh, but soft, white light, which allows you to see comfortably. These also will save you time and money as they last forever and need little maintenance.

Fiber Optic Chandeliers

These are a great combination of both utility and decoration. Although these can easily light up a room, they are generally used to enhance a space. This is due to the color changing abilities these have. It is very eye-catching to have a chandelier which changes colors nice and slowly. This will make yours a home or business to remember!

Decorative fiber optic lighting sources:

Fiber Optic Lamp

This is probably the form of fibre optic lighting which you are most familiar with. These can be found at many specialty stores and many people keep them in their homes as a decoration. The fiber optic lamp usually has the ability to change colors slowly, which can give a room a great feel. These lamps come in a range of colors (or multi), and the lighting implements are usually LED (light emitting diode).

Fiber Optic Table Lamp

The fun of a fiber optic lamp, on your table! These are available in many different colors, plus the color changing ones. They are available in both battery operated and plug-in models, sometimes both. These are generally inexpensive. Most of them feature hundreds of optic fibers which extend out from a base, creating a fan-like shape which lights up and changes colors. Some of the bases also include clear crystals which react to the light and add to the show.
