Product Description

Translucent concrete (also: light-transmitting concrete/luminous concrete) is a concrete based building material with light-transmissive properties due to embedded light optical elements - usually optical fibers. Light is conducted through the stone from one end to the other. Therefore, the fibers have to go through the whole object. This results in a certain light pattern on the other surface, depending on the fiber structure. Shadows cast onto one side appear as silhouettes through the material.

Translucent concrete is used in fine architecture as a facade material and for the cladding of interior walls. Light-transmitting concrete has also been applied to various design products.

Several ways of producing translucent concrete exist. All are based on a fine grain concrete (ca. 95%) and only 5% light conducting elements that are added during the casting process. After setting, the concrete is cut to plates or stones with standard machinery for cutting stone materials.

Due to bends in the fibers and roughnesses on the cut surfaces of the fibers, light transmission is generally a bit less than half the incident light on the fibers, so given five percent fibers, about two percent. As the human eye's response to light is non-linear, this can still give useful daylighting.

In theory, the fibers could carry light around corners and over a distance of tens of meters, with the rate of loss increasing with length depending on the type of fiber and how it is bent.

Working with natural light, it has to be ensured that enough light is available. Wall mounting systems need to be equipped with some form of lighting, designed to achieve uniform illumination on the full plate surface. 

Fiber optic cable is a light guide material. It don't emit light itself. So we need use a LED light source engine to give light from its end. As per the light emission and transmissionprinciple, then light travel along fiber to the another end to get end-glowing lighting effect . It can travel all visiable RGB and other color light.

Feature of plastic optic fiber for illumination
1. Cold light source, non-ultraviolet ray, without the acceleration of valuable.
2.Separation of light and electricity, safe and reliable application inflammable and explosive occassion.
3. Low power, energy saving and environmetal friendly.
4.Flexible transmission, apply in plastic optic fiber lights and projectsof plastic optical fiber decoration, can produce colorful and dream-likeeffect.
5. Optical fiber display with lower attenuation and high brightness, fullcolor render, clear vision, lower power, easy recycle and long life etc.

Products Application

Decoration/lighting applications

Plastic optical fiber is ideal for underwater lighting such as water fountains and swimming pools, and for display cooling lighting because there is no risk of leakage of electricity or heat generation. They are also easy to maintain and are widely used for lighting in high locations such as building walls and signs.

Light Textiles
newly developed side light fiber is optimized to give off light from the side surface, so is ideal for light textiles like tablecloth, full dress, etc.

Medical Applications

Plastic Optical Fiber has many achievements in medical equipment. In particular, it features a wider irradiation range, low bending loss, and superior rupture flexibility compared to standard plastic optical fibers, and it has been adopted for endoscopes and other medical equipment.

In-vehicle lighting applications

In addition to ambient lighting by end-lighting and side-lighting. It can be used in a wide range of automotive interior lighting, such as decorative lighting for door trim by woven plastic optical fibers.

Industrial applications

Since optical communication is not affected by electromagnetic noises , it is used in industrial networks. Plastic optical fibers are more flexible and hard to break than quartz-based optical fibers, and they are large in diameter and have superior light transmission properties, so they are also used in a variety of sensors and lighting applications.
