See Our Premium LED RGB Illuminators for Dynamic Lighting Solutions

Illuminators serve as the primary source lighting for fibre optic cables, offering more than basic illumination by creating dynamic lighting effects, including colour transitions, twinkling, and dimming. LED fibre optic lights are preferred for durability, lower maintenance needs, and enhanced functionality. LightEFX tailors each illuminator for specific applications, ensuring optimal performance; for instance, a low 5-watt model is ideal for producing subtle starlight effects, while a 150-watt model works best for side-emitting fibre cables or larger fixtures, such as wall installations in pools. With RGB lighting capabilities, LightEFX illuminators provide a range of colours and effects, including LED RGB combinations for both vibrant and subtle lighting needs. This customization enables LightEFX to deliver versatile and visually captivating lighting solutions.

Technology

Fibre optic illuminators primarily use LED optic fibre light sources instead of older halide or halogen lamps, resulting in an extended lifespan of up to 30,000 hours compared to just 6,000 hours for traditional lighting. LightEFX provides LED RGB illuminators to replace outdated or non-functional units in various LED optic fibre light setups, including home, pool, or commercial installations. For replacement or upgrades, don’t hesitate to get in touch with LightEFX directly.

Optimal illuminator performance is achieved when the focal point of light entering the fibre cable is maximized, and the light source operates at its most efficient power level. Precise design and careful LED-to-lens calibration ensure the best light output and efficiency, meaning that increasing wattage alone won’t improve brightness if the light’s focal alignment is off.

LightEFX has introduced a DMX to RS232 converter for its illuminators to meet the growing demand for app-controlled lighting. This converter facilitates compatibility between home automation systems, such as Control4, Savant, Push Controls, and other RS232-based platforms. Additionally, integration with dedicated automation systems like Cbus or Dynalite is possible through a DMX gateway.

Applications

LightEFX offers LED RGB illuminators for indoor and outdoor use, featuring consistent functions like colour changes and dimming. The IP43 model, built with a stainless steel casing, is ideal for outdoor installation and is commonly located in pool pump rooms to support perimeter lighting. When pump room storage isn’t feasible, the IP43 illuminator is suitable for direct outdoor installation.

Illuminators also address maintenance challenges related to traditional source lighting by enabling convenient lamp placement for easy access and using fibre cables to transport light to hard-to-reach locations. This approach eliminates the need for ladders or lifts to replace individual lights in high or limited-access areas like ceilings, chandeliers, or cove lighting. Furthermore, it’s well-suited for path lighting, as illuminators provide all necessary lighting without requiring individual lamps or bulbs in the fittings.
