Fibre Optic FX

Church Street Sculptures, Blackburn, Lancashire

Five new and exciting sculptures depicting Blackburn 's cotton heritage were brought to life with colour changing fibre optics. The sculptures (designed by renowned artist Ian Randall and named Boll, Gin, Mercer, Nep and Lumen) were funded by a grant from Europe and chosen by a panel of art experts.

‘Making Waves' Addition, Teignmouth, Devon

In 1999 we worked alongside respected artist Ray Smith to create what was believed to be the largest side emitting installation in Europe consisting of 22 spans of cable run by 44 light engines over 3 streets. The original project was so successful we were recently asked to go back to add another 4 spans of cable & 8 light engines over a 4th street

Star Effects

Fibre optic lighting can be used to create a twinkling starry night effect on a number of surfaces including ceilings, walls, domes, curtains and carpets. Ready made kits are also available off the shelf.

Hard Rock Cafe, Manchester 

8 x steps were highlighted with side emitting cable set into our aluminium stair nosing. Originally fitted Tivoli lighting was replaced due to heat problems.

Mood & Bar Restaurant, Liverpool

A 10mtr diameter infinity tunnel was designed for an ‘ Alice in Wonderland' themed room. Using standard mirror and a two way mirror supported by a custom made frame, rings of colour changing fibre optics drop off into infinity.

Fibre Glow Panel

The Fibre Glow panel works on the principle of light reflection and refraction. A controlled matrix of dots is set on a clear sheet of acrylic. The addition of fibre optic lighting results in an illuminated, double sided, semi transparent panel.

With no heat, electricity or UV light present fibre optic lighting is the ideal solution for illuminating cabinets, display cases, works of art and museum pieces.
