Metal Coated Fibre

info@litetec.co.uk (litetec) — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 15:03:00 +0000

Metal Coated Fibre

Litetec have updated their website to include information on our range of metal coated fibres. These fibres use pure metals of copper, aluminium and gold to give higher temperature use, better hermeticity and higher strength than polymer fibres.

Our metal coated fibres can withstand temperatures up to 500oc for long periods of time or 700oc for shorter periods of time.

This fibre makes for a good comparison with gold coated fibres, but at a fraction of the cost.

This fibre can also be produced in much longer lengths (up to 1km) and come in a variety of fibre types including single mode, graded index and step index large core fibres in UV and IR grades of silica.

Further information on these types of metal coated fibre can be found here;

Fibre Optic Chandeliers all the rage!

info@litetec.co.uk (litetec) — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 11:40:00 +0000

Litetec announce new range of fibre optic chandeliers, designed and produced here in the UK. The prototype bases have been launched in various formations including circular, square, linear and starburst.

After much thought, litetec decided to create bases at 30cm square, small enough to fit most spaces, including sensory rooms, and also much more affordable. If a large space requires a chandelier, grouping 4 or more together is an ideal option.

Each base incorporates 200 pcs of sparkle fibre, the longest drop is up to you. Tiered chandeliers are also an option- enabling you to have a staggered effect, this look particular amazing with the circular base- creating a spiral effect.

The fibre can be finished off with crystal end fittings which can be viewed here. Alternatively, we can heat seal the ends in our factory in doncaster before shipping the finished product off to you.

Assembly is kept to a minimum (you'll be glad to hear!) with simply the fixing of the plate to your ceiling and gluing of the fibre in place. Once the chandelier is up and running, you can decide if you want to chop the fibre and create different shapes (although be careful-once its gone, its gone!)

Prices and images are to be announced soon, so please join our blog here for updates.

New LED Lightsources from litetec ltd

info@litetec.co.uk (litetec) — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 11:36:00 +0000

litetec would like to announce the new range of LED light sources.

Among this range, includes, our compact LED light source which is one of the smallest versions around. This source comes with only white light and is ideal for art galleries or projects that might require fibre optic lighting (...as fibre optics don't damage precious artifacts, artistic work or objects in museum cabinets.)

We also have two new twin port light sources. These sources haven't been seen before on the market, and enable a vast array of options. Having two ports therefore means that you can mix n match fibres to create your own kit. We have two new fibres in stock- side glow fibre and sparkle fibre which you can mix up and have one port with side glow and one with sparkle fibre or we also offer end lit fibre and glass fibre optic harnesses, if you wish.

Now you may be asking what is the difference between our two twin port light sources? Well one is equipped with a glass colour wheel and the other with a chip control. Both are colour change, and also allow one colour option and two tone colour- where one port is on a different colour to the other port. These light source are also very ideal for sensory rooms, as you now only need to buy one light source, and you can have two different harnesses!

So..in conclusion, the options are endless (and a little confusing..so please call us on 01702 540187 if you would like to discuss your needs and we can work together to find a suitable solution).

Energy Efficient Fibre Optics- The Benefits

info@litetec.co.uk (litetec) — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 14:16:00 +0000

There are many benefits to fibre optic lighting over conventional lighting, the benefits of fibre optics include;

Virtually no heat

Fibre optic cables only transmit light, the cables and fixtures do not generate heat. This makes it ideal for applications where electricity or heat is a concern such as wine racks, in or around water, chilled food cabinets or display cases.

No UV/IR light

Its a safe light that won't damage or degrade sensitive items. Therefore its useful in museum cabinets where you need light but can't risk damaging the display.

Maintenance Free

Compared to LED systems, if one bulb goes the display of light looks broken and is often difficult and costly to be repaired. With fibre optics, no maintenance is required, if the light stops working, which is not very often, the bulb in the lightsource simply needs replacing. This will cost approx £

Reduced Energy Cost

Fibre optics have fewer watts per square foot compared with conventional lighting. Most one off products can be lit with just a 50W lightsource, which is very bright. The maximum lightsource is 250W.

No Electrical Current

There is no electrical current in the fibre optic cable, making them safe to use in wet environments, such as bathrooms, kitchens, and swimming pools.

Less expensive and easier to install

Compared to conventional lighting, where you have to run conduit or wiring, fibre optics only require minimal installation. Normally only drilling of holes or fixing the cable in place, then choosing an appropraite place for the lightsource.

Easily Accessible

The lightsource is mounted in a convenient location, enabling easy change of lamps if required.

Vast Colour and Effects

A rotating colour wheel in a fibre optic system can easily change the colour of the light. On our lightsources we have a remote control that allows the user to "pause on colour." The lightsources are fitted with a dichroic filter wheel and heat filter to prevent burn out or colour fade. As well as colour wheels you can also have twinkle wheels and waterfall effect wheels. If you required just white light, this is simple to achieve. Therefore, fibre optics allow for vast changes in colour and effects, easily changing the colour to suit the mood or for an update.

UK Manufacturer of fibre optics

info@litetec.co.uk (litetec) — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 12:46:00 +0000

litetec ltd, having succesfully built relations with several multi-sensory companies, we are looking to further expand our fibre optic manufacturing capabilities. We can produce fibre optics for both scientific (light guides etc) and domestic use (sparkle fibre optic harnesses, star ceiling kits etc). All manner of fibre optics are created onsite at our facility in Doncaster.

For the sensory market, we have listened to what our customers and the market in general requires and have taken action accordingly; for example, a charitable organisation suggested that the motors on lightsources should have a slower rpm (revolution per minute) so we now have ones with 0.85 rpm. Our sparkle fibre optic harness is popular item, we now use sparkle fibre with more nicks to create more sparkle and with the harness finished, ground and polished at our fibre optic manufacturing facility, we have the brightest fibre around.

litetec would like to offer our manufacturing services to existing sensory companies at wholesale prices, custom made to your requirements. litetec can produce cost effective fibre optics to incorporate into your sensory room designs. Please contact us on 01702 540187 to discuss your needs and budget. We welcome call off orders.

Litetec ltd provide fibre optic floodlighting for Penryn Town Hall

info@litetec.co.uk (litetec) — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 13:04:00 +0000

litetec ltd provided the lighting for Penryn Town Hall

The News Article on this is as below;

Town hall bathed in floodlighting

The wishes of a former Penryn resident were fulfilled on Friday (January 25) when Penryn's town hall was bathed in floodlighting.

The late Thomas Moore, who was an active member of the Penryn Fair Committee before his death 18 months ago, left a request in his will for the town hall to be floodlit at night, accompanied by money to carry out his wish.

Friday saw the completion of that request, at the official switch-on of the floodlights.
Mary Mary, Penryn's mayor, said: "We're very thankful to Tom. It's in the centre of the town, so it's very eye-catching now, when you come down at night time. We're delighted that at last they're on - it's taken us a while to get the project completed. We're really pleased - it's what Tom would have liked."

On the evening of the grand switch-on the lights were set to green, in celebration of the occasion. Over the course of this week there will be a display of all the colour options available, before the lights change to their more permanent colour of white. It is likely that the coloured lights will return on special occasions, such as at Christmas.

The switch-on evening coincided with Burns Nights. In recognition of the occasion, piper Tony Crawley entertained guests on the bagpipes.

Reflecting the coloured lights of the town hall, fireworks then illuminated the night sky, including some donated by town councillor Gill Grant and £200 worth donated by City Electrical.

Please contact Geoff Miles at litetec on 01302 338210 if you require a similiar effect.
