  • Setting Up A Fiber Optic Tree

A Fiber Optic is a strand of glass (about the diameter of a human hair) surrounded by a reflective coating, used to transmit light over long distances.

Some optical fibers can be made from plastic, have a large core (1 mm diameter) and transmit visible light from LEDs (Light Emitting Diode) or Bulbs.

Fiber Optic Trees are made with plastic optical fibers with large core sizes.

A Fiber Optic Tree is not a traditional pre-lit Christmas tree. You won't have lights throughout the tree, instead just the tips of the branches have small fiber optic lights on them.

A Fiber Optic Tree is formed by a plurality of optical fibers each having two ends.

The base of the tree have a chamber to house a light source. The light coupled into the first end of each optical fiber is transmitted to the second end.

The result is a spectacular light show of any color.

When You turn it on the tree will brighten with rays of light cascading from the branches, watch as the colors change throughout the tree and enjoy its magic.

The light source of a Fiber Optic Tree can be LEDs or Bulbs. To power it up, bulbs need an AC adaptor. LEDs can be used with AC adaptor or batteries.

• The Size: Determine the amount of space available. For a small space, three to four feet in height is appropriate. For larger space five to eight is better.
• The Color: Preferably, the color of the tree should match the decorative scheme chosen.
• The Type of Lighting: One color, many different colors. Twinkle in sync, or out of sync.

There are always safety issues when dealing with ordinary Christmas trees. Christmas lights can grow very hot. If they are cracked or damaged, they can become fire hazards.

Fiber Optic Trees are actually very safe, do not give out heat only light (there is no electricity or heat in the fiber strands).

Since they produce no heat there is no danger of catching fire like a real tree can. A Fiber Optic Tree is virtually indestructible.

For bulbs, it is not recommended to keep it lit for more than eight hours. For LEDs, you can safely keep it on for more than eight hours.

Never leave the tree plugged in while you are away from home or while you are sleeping at night, for both safety and electricity saving.

If a green Christmas tree is boring to You, try something different. How about a white Fiber Optic Christmas Tree?

A white tree will add a wintry touch to your room. A white tree looks like it is covered with new fallen snow.

Lighted Fiber Optic Trees come with two light units: white and colors.

By replacing one unit with the other, you will have two Fiber Optic Christmas Trees in one.

By simply changing the light unit, you are changing its entire appearance.

You can also find those that has only one color light: blue, green, red, pink or yellow.
