Fiber optic lighting uses thin strands of glass or plastic fibers to transmit light. This technology allows light to travel long distances without losing brightness, making it ideal for various applications, including decorative lighting, architectural features, and even medical instruments. The light source is typically a LED or halogen bulb that shines into one end of the fiber. The light then reflects off the walls of the fiber, illuminating the entire length. This method provides a unique, flexible lighting solution that can create stunning visual effects while being energy-efficient and safe.
