Special lighting effects
In addition to the diversity of serious lighting tasks that can
be undertaken by FibreOptic Light and Designs Ltd there are numerous
special effects that can also be created. The choices are limited
only by the creativity of our customers and ourselves working as
a team.
Because we handle all three types of fibre, glass, large core polymer
and bundled polymer and a large range of light drivers, we can create
colourful and interactive effects that use the character of the
chosen fibre-type to its best advantage.
The ferruled ends of bundles of small glass tails can be made to
erupt in colourful patterns while bundles of small clear jacketed
side emission fibres can sparkle and flow in stunning arrays of
coloured or white light.
Large core polymer is more diverse in specification and is less
pliable than glass or bundled polymer and this makes it self supporting
in some situations. It is able to emit a brighter ball of light
in the end-emission type and in the side-emission type its appearance
is semi-transparent and very like neon but without neon’s drawbacks.
Bundled polymer is as flexible as glass and very versatile. End-emission
fibre can either use the full bundle to create a single bright light
point or split-out from its jacket to allow the small strands to
individually create magical patterns. Fibre optic signs, starfields
and glow-worms are typical but a simple spray of coloured tips creates
exciting effects. In the side emission type bundled polymer resembles
a clear rope consisting of up to 150 strands twisted inside a clear
jacket that is pliable, easy to drape or reticulate in a variety
of ways, and emitting a dense and intense trail of white or coloured
light.
