REMOTE-SOURCE LIGHTING— UP CLOSE

摘要

In the decade since fiber-optic lighting was first introduced here [in the late 1980s] in the United States, we have seen the dramatic development of remote-source systems employing a variety of fibers and light guides. New technologies, some only recently announced, include new lamp designs, advanced optical control, more fixture options and greater economy, while breakthroughs in color addressability, switching, and dimming are yet to be made public. This provides today's lighting designer with options and opportunities not available until now. Remote-source lighting systems are ready to take their place alongside downlights, troffers, and bollards in the designer's tool belt.
