What illuminators are designed for use with 3Ms light fiber?
The illuminators designed for 3M™ HL High Luminance Light Fiber are similar to a slide projector—but are very specialized. They typically use metal-halide lamps (HID) or light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Illuminators that work with 3M’s light fiber have a light-condensing mechanism that gathers and directs a large quantity of light into one end of the fiber. This type of illuminator, which includes the light-condensing mechanism, is designed to ensure long fiber life and safe operation. Using Illuminators not designed for use with 3M’s light fiber should be avoided. Your 3M distributor can provide recommendations based on the application.
3M High Luminance Light Fiber is used in malls, restaurants, hotels and other commercial spaces where energy costs are a concern. With features that provide cool lighting and improving energy efficiency, 3M uses Light Fiber where labor and maintenance costs are a concern along with resilience to the effects of the sun, wind and the rain.
Some of the typical applications include building perimeters, cove lighting, walkway lighting, and entertainment illumination. Also, 3M HL High Luminance Light Fiber is exceptionally versatile for artistic displays and architectural designs.
