Custom Light Tubes to Illuminate Precious Artifacts in Floors Castle

Project:

Floors Castle

Location:

Kelso, United Kingdom

Equipment Used: [click products for information]

Harnesses:

• 2mm glass harnesses

End Fittings:

• Custom Light Tubes

Once again, Universal Fiber Optics were able to utilise light tubes to illuminate precious artifacts on display at Floors Castle, Kelso.

Glass tails of 2mm diameter spaced at 3in (75mm) intervals provide light to the display cases. In this installation, the tubes themselves were colour matched to the display case material to ensure the light tubes were as unobtrusive as possible. As these can be installed either horizontally or vertically, all the display cases were able to be illuminated efficiently.

This discreet form of fiber optic lighting, with hidden illuminators, also eliminates harmful UV and IR rays emitted by conventional lighting which can damage precious material on display.
