The fibre optic lighting cable is probably one of the greatest inventions in the history of the leisure industry. It allows nightclub owners, gym owners, sauna owners – in fact, the owners of just about any kind of publicly used facility you can imagine – to deliver cheap and efficient mood lighting across huge spaces. The same technology can be down sized for domestic use – all thanks to the wonder of that little glass cable. Fibre optic lighting suppliers are now promoting kits suitable for home or business use – whole starter kits, complete with power source, light source, filters and cables.

The fibre optic lighting cable has achieved all this revolutionary lighting thanks to its single useful property – that of high fidelity refraction. Refraction basically means that you are able to carry a signal, a wave, over a long distance without loss of clarity. In the case of fibre optic light cable, that signal or wave (have scientists worked out if light is a wave yet? Maybe they should be paying a little more attention to the properties of the cable put out by modern fibre optic lighting manufacturers) is simple illumination. The light comes from a strong light source hidden away from public view – and is carried down hundreds of fibre optic lighting cable strands to light emitters (crystals, glass plates, whatever) set into ceilings, floors and walls.

Obviously, the power usage benefits (not to mention the fact that you only have to worry about a single heavy duty bulb rather than hundreds of tiny halogen lights) that fibre optic lighting manufacturers have given, both to business and home, are quite astonishing. Yes, it takes more power to run a big bulb: but when you consider the overall cost of doing so, against the cost of running individual actual bulbs, or halogens, or whatever, the saving is enormous. The ease with which fibre optic lighting cables can be introduced into pretty much any situation is good too. Because the cabling itself transmits no electricity (nothing, goes down it, remember, except light), it is as safe in damp environments, or hot environments, as it is in normal ones. It’s only glass, with a bit of plastic around it, after all.

Fibre optic lighting manufacturers can deliver a kit or installation to suit pretty much any size of room and type of application. The leisure industry is particularly well served by fibre optic lighting suppliers, who can design and install low level lights and muted atmospheric type illumination in practically any combination of sizes effects and colours: the effects you see used with fibre optic lighting cables are created by plastic wheels and coloured filters used by the single bulb, rather than the ends of the cables, which means a very simple device can produce a complex set of effects.
