Circuitron 800-8040 Fibre Optics 0.040'' diameter (15ft)

Fibre Optics 0.040' diameter (15ft)

Details:

CIRCUITRON Fibre Optics provide a flexible and efficient solution for transferring light to signals, structures, signs, and special effects across a model railway layout. Manufactured from high-quality PMMA plastic fibre with a durable fluoro-polymer coating, they transmit light with minimal loss, allowing a single light source to illuminate multiple locations.

Ideal for creating realistic lighting effects in confined spaces, these fibres can be used with both LEDs and incandescent lamps, making them suitable for a wide range of scenic and signalling applications.

Light entering one end of the fibre is transmitted along its length through internal reflection, emerging at the far end with very little reduction in brightness. Because virtually no light escapes from the sides of the fibre, external painting is generally unnecessary, although it may be used if desired.

The fibres are highly flexible and can be bent around corners and through structures with minimal loss of performance, making installation simple even in restricted spaces. A bright LED or lamp can illuminate several fibres simultaneously, allowing multiple lighting points to be powered from a single source.

The material can be easily cut to the required length using a sharp hobby knife or razor blade, enabling custom installations for virtually any model railway lighting project.
