Although the cost of outdoor fiber optic lighting is higher than other forms of landscape lighting, there is a long-term return on investment available through their usage. They use far less electricity because the light itself is generated by a single, remote control unit. This allows the bundled cables to emit light from only a single source in many directions.
Optical cable also lasts a very long time because it does not conduct any heat. When correctly installed by a trained specialist, it can last for years without any maintenance, and with little likelihood of replacement. The fact that outdoor fiber optic lighting cables do not actually conduct electricity also makes them weather resistant. Fiber optics can be threaded upward through a hardscape with the ends flush with the surface. The open end of the cable can literally face upward from an outdoor flooring surface and be directly impacted by falling rain without any damage whatsoever being done to equipment.
