The optical fiber scattering is the result of a
proprietary process of treating protected by
international patents fiber. Consisting of a uniform
distribution of light over the entire length of the
fiber rather than the end only, this technique
provides exceptional performance by giving these
products an incomparable brightness.
This exclusive process helps diffuse PMMA fibers
on a selected length. Rather than using the light
at the end of the fiber, it is evenly distributed
over the length.
Fiber length that lies between the source and the
lighting point hardly loses light output, allowing a
return flow Broadcast / incoming flow of the order
of 80%.
The brightness depends on the length of the fiber
and is proportional to its cross section, the fiber
diameters can range from 0.25 to 3 mm (ie a fiber of
2 mm times 4 illuminates a fiber of 1 mm). To
increase the flow returned, we group the fiber
cables 7, 19 or 37 fibers.
Diffusing our cables can uniformly illuminate up to
20 m, supplied by a single side. This length can be
doubled by two ends of the cable. By applying
the treatment, we can thus obtain lengths of 50
meters without loss of light in the middle of the
cable broadcasting.
Generally, halogen or iodide generators are used to
power the fiber but in some cases, the power LEDs
are proving to be the ideal solution.
The bright optical fiber fabric is a solution for
multiple lighting applications in the areas of lighting,
communications, security, decoration, showbiz,
fashion and clothing ...
This technique meets the fire / smoke standards.

The light fabric is based on a unique and original technique. This technique
helps build fiber blended with other fibers.
The resulting fabric has close to those of an ordinary synthetic fabric properties,
but also has the remarkable property of emitting light when connected to a specific
electronic module.
The electronic module is powered either by battery or by a small mains transformer
(for fixed decoration pieces, etc. ...) or generator for very long lengths / areas.
Depending on the type of the electronic module, the light can be different colors.
According to the customers’ desires, we have generators emit a single color
(called monochrome generator) or generator RGB: Red - Green - Blue.
To adjust the brightness and vary the texture colors RGB generators we use to
control DMX devices and infrared remote controls. We can also provide you with
modulators.
Jacquard weaving makes the fibers appear in a predefined pattern. The
portion of the fabric on the machine makes the illuminating fiber portions forming
the units. The illuminated areas are determined by the intensity of the processing
performed by the CNC machine.
The power of the fabric can be done by LEDs placed on a strip of cloth at the end.

The optical fibers are woven parallel with the width of 130 cm. The
bright fabric can be sewn with standard sewing machines. The bright
fabric can be cut according to specific rules.
Following the application of decoration, the wiring can be hidden in the
fabric around the edges or a rail.
The light is available in 5 colors (red, green, blue, yellow and white).
For mobile applications, the power supply can be made by
conventional or rechargeable batteries.
The optical fiber fabric can be hand washed with water at 40 ° C and
soap (the battery must be removed before washing).
The fiber material is as strong as conventional synthetic fabric.
The optical fiber fabric should not be machine washed or ironed or
folded (which might damage or breakage of the fiber), or ideally rolled
on a support.

The light emitted by the light fabric
is visible in daylight.

Under custom made, Midlightsun supplies spare
fully wired fabric, up to 150 cm wide, any length
up to 50 meters, and including the electric power
system (AC adapter or batteries).
The color of the fabric and the sequencing of the
color lights are formed on the basis of customer
requirements.
