One of the advantages of fibre
optics is the ability for colour-changing
and creating moods and different
schemes for different times of the day
and events.
Fibre optics are low maintenance
with the advantage of having the light
source and electrical feed separate
from the fittings which makes lamp
changing more convenient and safer,
reducing the risk of electric shock.
A further benefit of having a remote
lamp source is that the fixtures are not
moved – negating the risk of altering
any orchestrated focusing. Also, as fibre
optics have multiple light sources from
one lamp, there will always be the same
output from each end point giving
uniformity and continuity across the
whole installation.
