Custom Fiber Optics

The beauty of our complete turnkey design services and systems are unmatched and can be installed in new construction or retrofitted where electric cables cannot be used. These systems are also able to be moved as they do not require conduit and can be snaked virtually anywhere.  Special lenses and fittings of the highest quality available have been developed that can swivel 360 degrees and frame large or small art and objects. Versatile track and recessed systems are custom fabricated for every requirement.  Recent projects include museum exhibitions, private art collections, universities and historic government buildings.

With over 45 years experience between them, ours are the foremost experts in creating custom lighting systems, including exclusive glass fiber optics.   We will customize, build and install a superior lighting system to illuminate valuable and delicate artifacts, fine art and photography, without subjecting your collection to the harmful rays of Ultra Violet and Infra Red. Our services and systems are exclusive and are also extremely eco-friendly for general ambient lighting in place of conventional, high energy lighting systems.  There is a great savings on labor and materials as there are no bulbs to change (except at the very source).  This cold system will not add to the A/C load.  They also work well for exterior landscapes as

it is water and fire-proof.

      What is a CFL? A CFL is a Compact Fluorescent Bulb. Once

       dismissed as buzzing tubes in an office, CFLs have gone compact and upscale.

       They are energy saving and now rival the cozy, warm light of incandescent.

       They use a fraction of the electricity which means lower electricity bills and

       millions of tons less global warming pollution. They also burn much cooler

       which further reduces your electric bill to have your air conditioner work

       as hard as it does now. If every home in America replaced just one             

       incandescent light bulb with an “Energy Star” qualified CFL, we would

       save enough energy to light more than 3 million homes and prevent 

      greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to that of 800,000 cars.

What is LED? An LED is a Light Emitting Diode Bulb. They are part of a family of lighting technologies called Solid-State lighting. Solid-State lighting (SSL), most commonly seen in the form of LEDs has the potential to revolutionize the efficiency, appearance, and quality of lighting as we know it. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that rapid adoption of LED lighting in the U.S. over the next 20 years can deliver savings of about $265 billion, avoid forty new power plants and reduce electricity demand by 33% by 2027.

What is Fiber Optics? Fiber Optics is Glass Fibers that Carry Light. The fibers are usually bundled together and can be run within tubes or other conduits. The advantage is that there is no danger of electric fire and there is a tremendous savings of electricity in comparison to the light output. Once installed, fiber optic lighting is permanent and there are no bulbs to replace! It has the best light quality with virtually no drop-off compared to any other type, which is why it is used for fine art and other delicate and valuable aritfacts.

What is a Xenon Bulb? A Xenon Bulb Contains a Gas that Glows like Halogen. The bulb lasts longer than halogen or standard Incandescent bulbs and burns brighter with less wattage which saves electricity. The size is also very compact so it is very useful for flashlights, headlights and small lighting fixtures.

         What is Cold Cathode? Cold Cathode is a cousin of Neon.  It

         it is mainly used in tubes that can be run long lengths without needing to be

         broken up thus eliminating the shadows created by smaller tubes of

         fluorescents laid end-to-end.  They can be custom bent for curved

         configurations.  They are colder than fluorescent and run far longer.

         The color rendition is also far superior to fluorescent and it can be dimmed. 

Through NYSERDA, Lampworks will do a lighting audit of your facility or residence, and will prepare a lighting proposal and cost analysis illustrating energy savings, available rebates, and tax benefits.
