What are the advantages of fiber optic lighting over conventional lighting?

What will be an ideal response?


Fiber optic lighting has several advantages over conventional lighting.

?It can be employed in swimming pools and fountains without the shock hazard and electrical requirements of waterproof luminaires.
?It can be located in outdoor areas for accent lighting of buildings and walkways.
?It is supplied by a single light source; thus, the luminaires produce no heat and have no electrical connections, and the lamps never need replacement.
?It is ideal for applications in museums to accent valuable works of art because it does not produce heat or ultraviolet radiation, which is a major cause of color fading.
?The individual light sources do not produce an electromagnetic field that could interfere with sensitive electrical equipment. The only electrical connection is at the illuminator; thus, individual light sources do not produce an electromagnetic field.
