Here’s a very nice project by South African artist Andreè van Zyl, developed as part of her final Masters exhibition at the Arts University, Bournemouth, here in the UK.  Andreè approached us for advice in the early stages of her project and we were very glad to be able to advise her on the selection […]

In most respects this is a typical bedroom star ceiling, but it’s noteworthy by virtue of a relatively high star density. Our customer Andy S wanted to decorate a nursery with dimensions of 3.2 x 2.4 metres, and in terms of fibre lengths the Orion kit was a good choice for the project. However, he

We were very interested to receive these photos from Taunton-based ARC Airstreams Ltd who bought fibre optic and LED components from us early in 2012. The company specialises in the refurbishment and sale of the iconic Airstream caravans which have been manufactured in the United States since the early 1930s. You can still buy a new Airstream today, but

Our customer Filipe Sequeira wanted a fresh and different look to his new dental practice in Belford, Northumberland. Filipe installed the star ceiling himself and commissioned a local joinery supplier to make a coving profile to conceal the LED tape. The result is a relaxing and visually attractive workspace for both the dental team and

We were interested to receive this detailed report from our customer Bob P in January (2013) since his format coincides broadly with a new prefabricated system which we were preparing to launch. We’re aware that not everyone is desperately keen to spend a lot of time crawling around on joists in the attic, so we

In the spring of 2012 we were approached by the costumes department of the London Olympics who wanted to experiment with some samples of solid core light guide. The experiments clearly went well, since they subsequently came back and placed a very substantial order for 3mm and 6mm versions of this sideglow fibre. We had

Starscape frequently supplies fibre optics for costumes, whether for students’ projects, fancy dress parties or major sporting and cultural events. The project described here was part of the Gloucester and Worcester Advent cycle of Mystery plays in the run up to Christmas 2012. Lengths of solid core light guide help to turn voluminous sleeves into

Photos by Paulina Holmgren. The fundamental advantage of fibre optic lighting is the ability to separate the light production – the light source – and the light output. A single light source can be used to generate light which is then distributed to many locations. In some instances, such as wet rooms, display cases with

This was a project, which involved prolonged discusssions with customers Chris and Lindsey B before a final specification was agreed upon. The plan was to add some WOW! factor to an already stylish dining room, and it was clear from the outset that half measures were not going to be acceptable. The proposed star field

A lot of our customers opt for one of our standard kits, such as the Orion or Pegasus star kits, for nursery projects and achieve very satisfactory results. However, from time to time we have customers who really want to push the boat out and to achieve very high star densities. One such was Andy
