Fiberoptic light

Fiberoptic stand, Archbishops Palace, Norway. . Lighting design: Ljusdesign AB

Fiberoptic light is nothing remarkable. It's just an alternative way of sending light.

Introduction

Lighting design with fiberoptics doesn't affect the light itself in any artistic sense, it does however give you a few very special practical benefits.

• The ability to carry and bend the light, to get close to the object.
• A way to get several light beams from just one bulb.
• Ability to separate light source from the luminarie.
• Easy to integrate in constructions where size and electrical safety matters.

Works in all imaginable scenes, wet rooms, rooms with explosive risk, in ice, under water or in the sauna.

Glass fiber

Glass fiber is characterized by high temperature resistance of the common-end inside the light source. It is suitable in both cold and hot spaces. The glassfiber is also very age-resistant, safe against fire and doesn't emitt any hazardous gases that would harm any artifacts in a museum. The fiberoptic harness is custom made and completed in the factory.

• Good colour reproduction and transmission capacity.
• Very flexible, multi-fiber technique, built up by Ø0,05mm fibres.
• Temperature resistant common end: Standard 130 °C, Fused 260°C.

Recommended maximum lenght: 12 m.
Light loss is around 6% per meter.

Randomised harness

In a randomised harness the fibres are evenly distributed in the common-end so that each single end emitts the same amount of light. This harness is suitable for usage with fittings inside museum stands.

In a non-randomised harness the fibres are not mixed in the common end, therefore this configuration is suitable for effects, for star ceilings and when you want to use a twinkle wheel for a shimmering effect.
