Hello All,
I was wondering if anyone is using fiber optics to light the interiors of their buildings?
It seems to me to be an easier way to illuminate different areas within a particular structure without having to place individual lamps in each location within the structure. Also it would seem that you could also run a couple of fibers to the headlights of vehicles on the layout as well. I realize that the prospect might be a little expensive initially but in the long run I think it could work great.
Heat was another of my concerns in plastic buildings or wooden structures with small bulbs or LED's but with fiber this seems to be eliminated. Not to mention the flexibility of getting the light exactly where one might want it. Any suggestions or insight into this issue would be greatly appreciated. Pictures and details would be great also.
Technology has changed a lot over the years and there are some new things out there that interested me. I have attached a photo of the fixture that goes on the end of the fiber optic bundle to disperse the light (They are .30 each). They have many fixtures available for different kinds of light dispersal but this is the one I am considering.
Here is a link to their site if you would like to check it out http://www.fiberopticproducts.com
I have not decided yet if I am going to go this way but it does look interesting.
Regards,
