Applications > Signage lighting

The most memorable and enchanting signs available are created from hundreds, if not thousands, of single strands of polymer fibre that can range from 0.5mm to 3mm in diameter. When “strung” into a sign face in a graphic pattern of any chosen complexity and bundled together in a precise sequence at a specialised light driver (or drivers) the most stunning animated graphics or patterns can be created.

Words, pictorials, logos, backgrounds, letter outlines, infills, drop-shadows can be produced in a limitless number of ways to provide customers with signs that are noticed and talked about….and that is very good for business!

While more costly than other signs the extra attention they attract is proof of their worth. With only one or two 25W lamps required for their operation and no sophisticated electronics huge power savings are assured. They are also virtually indestructible.

Some specifications of glass and polymer side emission fibre can also be used for signage provided that their mechanical properties and other characteristics are properly evaluated and specified for the task in hand.

Newly available fibres and light drivers have now opened up new opportunities. Low power use, absolute safety, ease of installation, minimal maintenance, virtual indestructibility, immersability in water and the ability to cycle through up to eight colours in the one cable, makes fibre optics an exciting sign prospect for the future.
