The Fiber AdvantageA quick explanation of the advantages unique to fiber optic lighting

No electricity at the point of illumination fiber optic cables carry only light to the point of illumination. The illuminator, and the electricity that powers it, can be some distance away fromthe objects or areas being lit. In wet environments - including fountains, pools, spas, steam show-ers or saunas - fiber optic systems are the safest way to provide illumination.

No heat at the point of illumination fiber optic cables carry no heat to the point of illumination,eliminating hot display cases and burns from overheated lamps and fixtures. And if youre lighting heat-sensitive materials like food, flowers, cosmetics or fine art, you can have bright, fo-cused light without heat or heat damage.

No UV rays at the point of illumination fiber optic cables carry no destructive UV rays to thepoint of illumination. Thats why the worlds great museums often use fiber optic lighting to protect their ancient treasures. For preserving fragile and precious items, fiber optic systems pro-vide bright but gentle light.

Easy and remote maintenance whether the critical factor is access or convenience, fiber opticsystems can make re-lamping a breeze. If fixtures are difficult to access, the illuminator canbe located in a place thats easier to reach; for multiple small lights (stair lights, paver lights orchandeliers) changing a single illuminator lamp re-lamps every light at once.

Small size fiber optic cables feed light directly into the fixture, without wasting space on wiring,lamp bases or sockets. A fiber optic fixture that measures a mere 12mm can deliver as manyas 500 footcandles right where you want them, and simple fixtures for shelves or accents canbe as small as 9mm deep. For display cases, bookshelves, accent lighting or ceilings withlittle plenum space, fiber optic systems provide bright, focusable light in the smallest spaces.

High quality light with their high CRI (Color Rendering Index rating), fiber optic systems de-liver lighting that is both accurate and attractive. And if youre lighting diamonds or other cutgems, the multiple strands of fiber optics will catch every glittering facet. Thats why the worldsmost exclusive jewelers use fiber optic lighting to display their most dazzling gems.

Energy savings fiber optic lighting can save energy in a number of ways. Many fixtures can"share" the light from one illuminator, providing dozens of points of illumination with the expenseof lighting just one lamp. Reducing wattage use saves additional money by reducing the load onHVAC systems, and when lighting refrigerated spaces, fiber optic lighting delivers brilliant illumination without adding unwanted heat.

VLT Lux CalculatorPredictable Photometrics

for Roblon Fiber Optic Lighting Systemsfeaturing RCP Factory Harnessing

The VLT Lux Calculator & RCP Harnessing: Together They Equal True Lighting Technology

Whether the project is large or small, todays lighting designers depend on detailed and accuratephotometric data to produce professional lighting plans. With the pairing of the VLT Lux Calculatorand RCP Harnessing, a fiber optic systems light output is no longer guesswork - fiber optic lightingis transformed into true lighting technology with predictable and reliable light output.

The VLT Lux Calculator is the worlds first photometric calculator designed for use with fiber opticlighting. By entering the proposed Roblon components (illuminator, fiber size, fiber length, numberof tails and desired fixtures) via the user-friendly interface, the user will obtain predictable and re-liable - photometric data. The software displays the average foot-candles for a wide range of throwdistances, and by adjusting the beam angle setting, the calculator automatically adjusts your foot-candle output. This information can be printed out, or used to generate IES compatible photometricfiles for use with third party rendering or photometric calculation software programs.

Download the VLT Lux Calculator from our website at www.visual-lighting.com

RCP Harnessing

RCP Harnessing a proprietary technology that Randomizes, Crimps and Polishes the fiber harness- plays a vital role in delivering the results predicted by the Lux Calculator. The process of RCP Har-nessing both maximizes and standardizes the fiber optic light output, making it possible to producereliable photometric data. In fact, with RCP Harnessing, Visual Lighting Technologies will guaranteethat your systems light output will meet or exceed the output calculated by the VLT Lux Calculator.

6More About RCP Harnessing

RCP harnessing pre-finishes both the harness and tail ends of each fiberoptic cable, producing an easy to install, "plug-and-play" fiber optic system.When the harness arrives at the job site, the electrical contractor simplyruns the pre-terminated tails through conduit, connects each tail to the ap-propriate fixture, and plugs the harness end into the illuminator. Here aresome additional advantages:

Your RCP harness is pre-fabricated to the exact fiber lengths required foryour application, so youll save on both product and installation costs.

RCP factory harnessing includes strand randomizing, a meticulousprocess that combs the fibers to insure uniform light output from everyfiber optic tail.

Our factory crimping and polishing process terminates and finishes eachend of the fiber tail with a high quality optical surface.

Output ends are finished with an aluminum ferrule that connects easily toany VLT fixture.

Every harness is shipped with protective caps to protect the polished sur-face during installation.

With RCP harnessing, VLT provides a five-year guarantee against fibermelting.

Look for the RCP symbol on fibers that can be RCP harnessed and onilluminators that accept RCP harnesses.

Metal halide illuminators generate the most light and offer the widest range of controloptions for fiber optic applications. Visual Lighting Technologies offers five series of metal halide illuminators using four different lamp strengths to meet a wide variety ofapplication needs.

All metal halide lamps require from two to ten minutes to reach full brightness, and requirea mechanical douser to achieve a dimming effect. Once a metal halide lamp is turned off,it must cool for approximately three minutes before re-striking (turning back on).

Platinum Series: Our brightest and most powerful illuminators utilize a 250 wattUshio lamp with 5,000 hour lamp life. The 4200 K color temperature of these off-the-shelf lamps creates an even higher perceived brightness in all fibers connected to this powerhouse illuminator.

Silver Series:These are our most popular illuminators, featuring the Philips Master-Color CDM-SA/R 150 watt metal halide lamp for the perfect balance of high lightoutput and long lamp life (6,000 hours).

Illuminators with halogen lamps provide a warm, dimmable light that turns on instantlyand requires no re-strike delay. Because they allow a fiber optic application to be switchedon and off like ordinary household lighting, halogen illuminators are the preferredilluminator for residential applications. They are perfect for downlights, star ceilings, displayniches and task lighting. Halogen illuminators are also a great choice for a range of commercial and retail uses, such as display case applications and decorative accents.Visual Lighting Technologies offers halogen illuminators in four lamp strengths for a wide variety of applications.

Bronze Series: This incredibly versatile line of illuminators has models using 75 wattor 100 watt Philips MR16 halogen lamps, with all models accepting RCP Harnessedfiber for optimal light output. The 75 watt Standard is a great general purpose unitwith an exceptional quiet fan. This model can be supplied with a standard 28mmport or with a 9mm port that provides over 2x the light output. The 75 watt Wet fea-tures a rugged, lockable and vandal-resistant enclosure which also has 28mm and9mm port options. The 75 watt Compact features a small size that is ideal for cabinetsor display cases, and full range dimming from just one power cord. In addition,the 75 watt compact is supplied with a special adapter which can connect its 28mmport into a 9mm port. The 100 watt Compact provides up to 70% more light than the 75 watt 28mm port model, with the same small size and extremely quiet fan.

Encore Series: This high-powered halogen illuminator utilizes an Ushio 250 wattlamp that makes this interior rated unit a great choice for large core fiber. Its balanceof high light output and instant-on and off capabilities are perfectly suited for use inhome theaters. All Encore Series illuminators utilize DIY (Do-It-Yourself) Harnessing,which can be done on-site or at the VLT factory. For glass fiber harnesses, VLT uses a proprietary harnessing technology, which must be completedat the VLT factory.
