3M™ Light Fiber

Neon and Cold Cathode Alternative

• Unlike neon and cold cathode, which is made of glass tubing segments, 3M™ HL High Luminance Light Fiber can be used to create visually uniform runs of decorative light that will not break, shatter or discharge environmentally hazardous gases.
• Typical installations use as much as 75% less energy than neon or cold cathode. Using LED Illuminators could use as much as 90% less energy.
• Installation is faster and less expensive than for neon or cold cathode; there is no need to wait for glass tubes to be specially made, it requires fewer electrical components, and it's easy and safe to install.

• Typical applications include building perimeters, cove lighting, walkway lighting, and entertainment illumination. 3M™ HL High Luminance Light Fiber is exceptionally versatile for artistic displays and architectural designs.
