“Cantus Arcticus” is a kinetic sculpture from the artist Bruce Munro at Waddesdon Manor in Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom. It is composed of 15 fiber optics forms or curtains with intense sparkling effects. The light is animated with slow movements and color changes synchronized with the ambiance music.

The owners of this private residence, requested a striking lighting effect for their outdoor wooden deck. Lighting designer Atch Kosiyabong, from Chingchai & Sons Engineering, designed this extraordinary starry sky effect directly into the floor, the fiber tips sealed for invisible daytime finish.
High performance HCF201, 1mm fiber optics clad with polyolefin HFFR powered by MDI105 series, 150W discharge illuminators, with 4000º K ceramic metal halide lamps and motorized starry sky effects disk.
For this private residence in Samui (southern island of Thailand), lighting designer Atch Kosiyabong drilled the granite slabs with the smallest possible holes at 2mm diameter, in order to create a meandering path of light stretching the length of the open air corridor. The longest distance from the illuminators is 22m.
HBF301 and HBF401, 0,75mm & 1mm high performance bare fibers with MHI202 and MHI303, 75W & 100W modular halogen starry illuminators, depending on the fiber distance away from illuminators, to keep consistency of brightness.
For the access area of the Swedish Nobel Museum, Ljus Design created an eyecatching free-standing divisory panel integrating thousands of Advanced bare polymer fibers built into a wire mesh structure and protected by acrylic sheet. The installation was powered by high Kelvin gas discharge illuminators.

As additional decoration on a Versace emporium in Riyadh the designers requested a logotype set on the marble floor at the foot of the stairs. Stonetech, using advanced technology, produced a puzzle of marble pieces with water-drilled housings to secure the fibers.

MDI102, 150W Modular Discharge Illuminator with metal halide lamp and sequential 6-color dychroic change.
When world renowned designer Bruce Munro was commissioned to produce a garden centerpiece he chose fiber optics to create light sculptures around a number of trees. The fixture comprises a transparent PMMA tube, to run a single fiber to a translucent polymer ball attached to the end of the tube. Coupled to computer-controlled illuminators the display is simply breathtaking.
HBF501, 1,5mm high performance bare fiber optics.
MDI504 DMX controlled gas discharge illuminators with CMY color mix and IP44.
A simple, yet very effective structure to display a collection of miniature porcelain figures. The hollow frosted glass pieces are contact-lit by a series of fiber optics built into the furniture. The subtle color changes contribute to create a very sophisticated mood.
HLG201, high performance 5mm light guide.

To create an impacting identity in a restaurant was the task Freidericos had to resolve on a limited budget. On a structural metallic framework repeated throughout the premises, the designer placed hundreds of empty bottles carefully sandblasted on all external surfaces. A single 1,5mm high performance fiber was inserted on a simple cork stopper and coupled to a gas discharge illuminator with integral color change. The result is… simply breathtaking.

Spectacular lighting of glass blocks interspaced with pieces of volcanic rock, the structure held in place by standard dry-contention-wall frames. With this choice of structural support, the designer required a light source that would never require maintenance, since access to the transparent blocks would have been impossible. The solution consisted of PMMA light guides with fire rated cladding, each one lighting a single glass stone. Color change of the whole structure is computer-controlled.
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.
