What type of light source do I need to
illuminate the fiber optic filament ? |
| |
| When you direct one end of a
fiber optic filament towards a light source, the other end glows.
|
|
|
| So the question is:
"What light source should you use?"
|
| Answer: "That depends
on your application!"
|
|
|
In a Scale Model
applications, where space is minimal and ventilation is non-existent,
small LED's provide excellent illumination. The 1000M
illuminator is a good
example of an ultra bright LED illuminator that works very well in
tight quarters. |

In
"The
Space Place" we
directed the fiber optic cable used for the "Stars" into
the same fluorescent lights that illuminated the "control
panels". |

|
|
Star
Ceiling creations, such as Brian & Debbie's "El
Theatre' de Lamont"
use the SV750
illuminator.
This 75 watt illuminator features a large fiber head, changeable
twinkle wheel and full ventilation. |
|
|
|
| In all applications, the
light source you choose will need to overcome the ambient room
light. Also, your application and desired effect will determine the unique
features of the light source you use. (i.e.: Twinkle Wheels, ventilation
and space considerations.)
