Clients of Exterior Worlds who seek to illuminate their Houston landscaping elements with the very best possible effects should consider investing in an outdoor fiber optic lighting system. This type of lighting admittedly is the most expensive form of landscape feature lighting one can buy. Once installed, however, it is far less expensive to operate and maintain. Optical cable requires far less power to produce light. It also transmits light in a way unlike any other type of lighting.Glass or plastic filaments are tied to a remote power and lighting source. This source is tied to a controller that shines the light through the filament and manipulates it with a flywheel controlled by preprogrammed patterns. Different colors of the spectrum can be rotated through the system to create special effects not possible with other types of landscape lights.
Outdoor fiber optic lighting cables can be installed anywhere. As a completely heat free light source, they are ideal for lighting vegetation. When used to illuminate gardens, they are often placed in a glass fixture housing that bundles the fibers together in a configuration that allows them to emit light in different directions at different intervals. While the housing may be the same as that used to contain halogen lamps, the brightness is much higher, and the lighting effects far more diverse. Many gardens can be lit with only one or two fixtures using this method.
