A quick recap of all the components in a fiber optic lighting system  The light source is where electricity is turned into light. The harness is the fiber optic cable which transports the light. The end fitting is where the light is output. An Example Installation   The light source is located in a convenient area in the ceiling/attic space. After installation, access is China Cable clip for wire harness Factory only required periodically to change the lamp. The fiber optic harness runs from the lightsource to the area where the end fittings are to be installed.

The end fittings are installed in the ceiling of the room to be illuminated. Light is output into the room below The Light Source Explained  What is it and what does it do?   The light source is where we turn electricity into light which is then fed into the fiber optic harness. Light source power is expressed in Watts - the higher the wattage, the more powerful the light source is and the brighter the light output from it is. The light source also contains any effects wheels, such as a colour or twinkle wheel which is supplied with the chosen kit. Effects wheels can also be purchased separately so you can add a different effect, or enhance the colour changing effect by using one of our unique Varicolour colour wheels.

The light source is the only part of a fiber optic system which contains electricity, and therefore must be housed in a dry environment. Some kit ranges, such as the star deck kits, and the garden kits are supplied with a weatherproof enclosure, allowing you to house the light source outdoors. For other kit ranges, weatherproof enclosures are available as optional extras. The Fiber Optic Harness Explained  What is it and what does it do?   The harness is the 'fiber' part of a fiber optic lighting kit. It is made up of many strands of optical fiber which are usually wrapped in a flexible black sheathing for protection. The harness is used to transport the light from the light source to the end fitting.
