Glass Block Illumination
Multi strand side light fiber optic lighting is an ideal addition to any glass block project. The inherent light emitting properties of PMMA fiber are extremely well suited to this type of application. Fiber optic lighting has no UV or IR rays, no electricity or heat build-up. There are no lamps to break and the installation is virtually maintenance free. Add a 4, 6 or 8 color wheel light source or LED light source and dynamic color changing can be achieved.

Glass Block IlluminationBacklighting glass block begins with a ¾” substrate, painted white. Position the substrate 3” to 6” behind the glass block. Mount the u-channel and fiber optic onto the substrate, at the grout line of each row of glass block, using adhesive and wood screws. Materials: |

Multi Strand Side Light Fiber Optic CableStranded side light fiber is multiple bundles of small diameter optic strands that can transmit light over reasonably long distances. The light source (illuminator) is placed at one or both ends of the fiber. Color wheels can be added to the illuminator to change the color of the fiber to as many as eight colors or a LED light source can be used for a single color or RGB. Because of the ease in handling, multi stranded fiber is a favorite choice. |
