Architectural outlines are one of the most salient applications for sidelight fiber; an effect difficult to accomplish with neon tubes due to the fragility and inherent danger of very high voltages or RGB LED’s due to the high cost. In this instance, the tower was outlined in its entirety with sidelight fiber coupled to color change illuminators at a reasonable cost and with minimum maintenance.

Materials

Microbraid HLG401, 18mm sidelight fiber clad on transparent PVC with UV and algae protection.
MDI500 illuminators with 150W metal halide lamps, CMY color mixing, capable of reproducing any RAL color, DMX 512 control, 2 real-time sensors, dimming and IP44 rating.
