Today we had UFO come in to discuss their fiber optic and LED products. Fiber Optics
All of their fiber optic systems consist of three components:
The light source can consist of a color wheel, RGBW, or dichroic sources.
They offer end lit or side emitting products. The side emitting products come in two different types: side sparkle and smooth solid core.
The end lit products are typically made from glass while the side sparkle are typically made from food grade plastic.
- 90w is the strongest fiber optic product
- 20w products will be close to the 50w-75w tungsten market
For the end lit products, you are able to changes lenses to change the beam spread of the product.
These products do have a bend radius limitation which is important to consider when using it around corners. A large positive of these fiber optic fixtures is that the light source is the only point of maintenance.
The fiber optic products can be used for a multitude of applications. The end lit products are great for pools, museums, ceiling stars, and much more. The side emitting (the side sparkle particularly) is great for sensory systems in the medical field. The side emitting is also great for pool lighting.
They also showed us their LED products.
They had spot and wash fixtures. The wash fixtures slide into the fittings and the spot fixtures snap in to a magnetic system. The optics of these fixtures can also be changed. The following sizes are available.
- 45mm
- 95mm
- 1250mm
- 2450mm
These fixtures are not wireless. There is 1.6 meters of lead wire available. Finishes include: black and silver. The magnetic ball will always be silver regardless of finish(as shown below).
They also mentioned that they do have LED down lights (as shown below) which are essentially an LED version of their fiber optics system.
