What are some of the key considerations when using light fiber?
To take full advantage of the potential of 3M™ HL High Luminance Light Fiber‚ ask your 3M distributor for assistance during the planning stages. Illuminators are designed for different lighting levels. The intensity‚ brightness‚ and color of the light can vary significantly. Please contact your 3M distributor for specific information. Although 3M’s light fiber is flexible, some light will be lost if the fiber is bent to an extreme degree. No significant amount of light is lost if the bend radius is no more than eight times the diameter of the fiber. The sharper the bend‚ the larger the light loss. One fiber cannot transmit multiple colors of light simultaneously.
