The thickness of the optical fiber used in the starlight ceiling light needs to be determined according to the actual needs and the type of light source.
In the process of building a starlight ceiling, it is very critical to choose verified optical fibers. The thickness and material of the optical fiber have a crucial impact on the effect of the entire starry sky. Generally speaking, the thicker the optical fiber, the more optical fibers are transmitted, and the brighter starry sky effect can be presented. But thicker is not always better, after all, too thick will affect the aesthetics.
Optical fibers are made of two types of materials: glass and plastic. Although glass optical fiber is of good quality, its price is relatively high. For families, the use of plastic optical fibers can already meet the needs.
When choosing the fiber thickness of the starlight ceiling, you need to consider the following factors:
Fiber thickness and brightness: The thickness of the fiber will affect the amount of light it transmits, thereby affecting the brightness of the starry sky. Thicker optical fiber can transmit more light, making the starry sky effect brighter. However, if the optical fiber is too thick, it will also affect the aesthetics.
Optical fiber material: Optical fiber is made of glass and plastic. Glass optical fiber has better quality but higher price, so it is suitable for occasions with higher requirements for effect. For ordinary households, plastic optical fibers can already meet the needs.
Light source type: The thickness of the optical fiber needs to be determined according to the type of light source. For example, when using LED lights as light sources, it is recommended to choose optical fibers with a diameter of about 0.75mm. When using car bulbs or high-pressure mercury lamps as light sources, you can choose thicker optical fibers.
Note: During installation, it is necessary to note that the length of the optical fiber should be designed according to the actual situation, and the fixation of the light source and the optical fiber should be firm and reliable to avoid failure caused by excessive bending.
In summary, the choice of fiber thickness for a starlight ceiling should be comprehensively considered based on factors such as actual needs, budget, type of light source, and size of the starlight ceiling. During the installation process, instructions should be strictly followed and care should be taken to protect the optical fiber from damage.
