Among the many decorative lighting technologies that are available today, Fiber Optics is certainly one of the most elegant and original. However its use has been limited so far in home decoration and interior architecture applications, mostly due to the complexity of fiber optics lighting systems.
A recently developed technology, the Fiber Optics Fabric (aka Luminous Fabric), is about to change that.
Based on this technology, a number of standard decorative lighting products are now readily available: table cloths, table runners, cushions, curtains, wall coverings...
The Fiber Optics Fabric is made of ultra-thin optical fibers, directly woven with synthetic fibers. The optical fibers are specially processed in order to allow the light to be emitted along the full length of the fibers (side emitting fibers). The optical fibers are then connected to ultra-bright LEDs (embedded in borders at the edge of the fabric), which inject light into the fabric.
Unlike with other lighting technologies, the light emitted by the Luminous Fabric is warm and subtle, producing a fancy and intriguing atmosphere.
Most of all, the luminous effect, and the look and feel of the luminous fabric, is wonderfully original and eye catching.
The light emitted by the Luminous Fabric is spread on large surfaces, so it is hardly visible in direct sunlight or broad daylight. It is best viewed in dark settings.
Depending on their type, luminous fabric products can be powered either by batteries or by AC adapters.
The Fiber Optics Fabric is available in a dozen of colors. Depending on the type of electronic module or LED used with the fabric, many light colors are possible. The most common and most luminous light colors are Red, Green, Blue, Yellow and White.
The Fiber Optics Fabric does not heat up when it is lighted, and presents no risks of electrical shocks.
The Fiber Optics Fabric is as fast and flexible as any other synthetic fabric.
It is water resistant and it can be gently hand washed with water up to 50°C and natural soap.
The main applications of Fiber Optics Fabric made products are home decoration, interior architecture, stage decoration, luxury boat or cars decoration, furniture, and special events.
The luminous fabric is available either as finished products, such as table cloths, table runners, cushions, curtains, or even dresses, T-shirts, etc... , or as fabric panels that can be directly integrated into furniture, objects, or be used as wall panels, etc...
Panels of fabric can be up to 150 cm (69") wide, and up to 10 meters (10 yards) long.
