Imagine creating an environment where the ambient lighting isn't just beautiful but also incredibly efficient. With LightEFX's indoor fiber optic fittings, this is not just possible—it's a reality. By harnessing the capabilities of fiber optic cables, we can distribute light from a single light source to multiple fittings throughout a space. The result? A lighting system that's not only cohesive but also energy-efficient. What makes this approach truly remarkable is its efficiency. A single light source, consuming as little as 15 watts of power, can illuminate up to 30 fiber optic fittings. This means you can achieve optimal lighting conditions without the high energy costs typically associated with traditional lighting solutions.

Creating the perfect lighting environment with LightEFX's indoor fiber optic fittings involves three key components: the Illuminator, fiber cables, and fiber optic fittings. The Illuminator is the central light source, delivering light to multiple fittings with minimal energy consumption. Fiber cables, available in end-emitting and side-emitting types, transmit this light to the fittings, which are the final display points. Whether you're looking to illuminate a home or a commercial space, this efficient and versatile system offers a durable and cost-effective lighting solution.
In this installation guide, we'll walk you through setting up fiber optic lighting along a hallway's skirting board. First, identify a suitable location for the Illuminator, which will be the central hub for all the fiber cables connecting to each fitting. Each fitting will require its own fiber cable. Begin by marking the spots on the skirting board where the fittings will be placed, and drill holes to accommodate the selected fittings. After drilling, run a 'pull-through' wire or drain wire from the location of the Illuminator to each drilled hole to measure the exact length of fiber cable needed for each fitting. Cut the fiber cables accordingly and thread them from the Illuminator to each drilled hole. Attach the fittings to the ends of the fiber cables and secure them into the cavities in the skirting board. Once all fittings are in place, prepare the fiber cables at the Illuminator end for termination into the harness gland. Use a hot knife to cut through the fiber cables cleanly. After termination, the fiber cables are ready to be connected to the Illuminator, and the system can be powered on.
