Applications of Fiber Optics
There are two types of fiber optic cables called Endpoint and Endglow fiber optic cables. They are highly useful as they provide bright light and high intensity at the cut fiber end. As these carry no heat or electricity they can be used in swimming pools, wet locations and water features.
Some Areas where Fiber Optics can be utilised:
Indoors Features
Fiber Optic Lighting along with LED Lights can be used indoors as well contrary to popular belief that it is meant only for outdoors and display lighting. It can be used as decorative light fitting and can also be installed in the Starfield ceilings. As fiber optic lighting does not emit heat it can be easily installed in small and confined spaces without increasing the temperature in the area. Another very useful application of fiber optic lighting is as focus lighting for expensive artwork. As it does not give off any heat there is no danger of the artwork fading. Another advantage of fiber optic lighting is that as it is a remote operated lighting, it can be installed in non-traditional places where you can’t reach. They are also a good option for cabinets, as they do not give off any heat. Moisture also does them no harm so they can easily be used in bathrooms as well.
Light Chandeliers
The fiber optic light chandeliers are so pretty that needed to be mentioned on their own. They can be used both indoors and outdoors for a stunning visual welcome piece.
Outdoors Features
Fiber optic lighting can be installed outdoors as well as path lights and flexible focus lights that can easily be installed within the plants and tress creating stunning effects and light displays. There is also a new invention called the wand, which is actually a glow cable that can be installed into concrete to a height that is suitable, and the rest can be cut off without any problems of any exposed wires.
Under Water features
As water doesn’t affect fiber optic lighting so they are a really good option for underwater applications. They are a very good option for adding colour and highlighting water features. They can be used for:
-Swimming pools
-Spas
-Aquariums
-Ponds
-Fountains
-Marine features for transom underwater lighting.
