The Lightlab - Fibre Optic Weave

The Lightweave has been developed using side-emitting glass fibre which is woven together into a cloth of light. The weft can be nylon or stainless steel, creating a malleable material, which can be sculptured into shapes or incorporated into design features. Suitable for both interior and exterior applications, the fibre is lit by a 150W metal halide light source, allowing the cloth to be lit for lengths of up to 8m and 1.2m width. By adding a colour effect wheel, the fibre can be colour changing and linked to a DMX control unit giving full remote colour change control. Bring your design ideas to life with the Lightweave. The Light Lab are specialist designers, specifiers and suppliers of fibre optic and LED products, working in partnership with the highest quality manufacturers of raw materials in Europe. Producing bespoke lighting features, as well as offering complete design, supply and installation services to large scale lighting schemes. The featured weave is just one of The Light Lab's product designs, developed in their partnership with Schott fibre optics.
