WHAT IS GLASS FIBRE OPTICS FUNCTIONAL ARCHITECTURAL LIGHTING?

The Most Energy Efficient Technology Now Known 

Glass fibre optics functional (as opposed to decorative) lighting is the most energy-efficient technology now known.

Not the same as glass fibre optics for communication, it is not interchangeable.

Used abroad for decades, some reasons for omission in the United States are lack of practical education in it, and terminal inertia to change procedures. 

CLI’s innovation is to use this physical principle for task, display and architectural features, and also ambient illumination.

Applications                      
High level directional and lower level ambient beams for:

  • Historic
  • Institutional
  • Commercial
  • Transportation
  • Landscape
  • Water Features
  • High End Residential
  • Indoor and Outdoor
  • Electromagnetic Locations
  • Inaccessible / Hazardous /  Confined Space


Properties

Safe    No electricity flows through the tails, only light rays. No harmful heat or ultraviolet rays dry out or   irreversibly fade “fugitive organic materials” (anything than once grew). Safe under water.

             Indispensable for high, inaccessible, confined space, electromagnetic or hazardous locations, as well as vibration, water features, historic décor, retrofitting fixtures, or constantly changing exhibits.

The most energy efficient lighting technology now known  One cool-burning lamp powers multiple (as many as 32) points of high level light, complying with increasing Energy Conservation mandates.

Air conditioning loads are not increased by this COOL illumination

             Substantial savings in installation, maintenance and operation make for prompt payback on initial investment and continuing economies thereafter for the long lasting life of the system.

             There may be financial incentives offered by utilities and municipal, state and federal agencies for upgrading to more efficient lighting.  The federal Investment Tax Credit for Rehabilitation of Historic Buildings for income-producing properties may also be investigated, where applicable.

Provides sophisticated, affordable illumination within the energy restrictions

              Good lighting enhances all design while conserving energy.  However, overly ambitious energy conservation without equal increased productivity will inevitably fail.
