What is the wick used in a fiber optic lamp?

As far as we know, the optical fiber lamp is made of special polymer compounds as the core material, and high-strength transparent flame retardant engineering plastics are used as the outer skin, which can ensure that there will be no breakage, deformation and other quality problems in a long time, and the life span is at least 10 years. Due to the use of high-purity core material, the attenuation in light transmission is effectively reduced, and the efficient transmission of light is achieved, because it has high purity, low attenuation, and easy installation. Reliability, safety, environmental friendliness, flexibility, integrity, the ability to produce colorful, dreamlike visual effects, no ultraviolet rays, low heat, no electrical damage, long service life, rich color variation, good durability and plasticity.

Therefore, it is regarded as an ideal material to replace the current decorative lighting means. The optical fiber lighting system is composed of a light source, a reflector, a color filter and an optical fiber. When the light source passes through the mirror, a beam of approximately directional light is formed.

Due to the effect of the color filter, this beam is turned into colored light.

When the beam enters the fiber, the colored light travels along the path of the fiber to the intended place. Due to the loss of light on the way, the light source is generally very strong. The commonly used light source is about 150 250W.

And in order to obtain an approximate parallel beam, the luminous spot should be as small as possible, similar to that of a point light source. Mirrors are an important factor in obtaining an approximate parallel beam. Therefore, aspherical reflectors are generally used.

A gel is a part that changes the color of a light beam. Depending on the need, the corresponding color light source is obtained by swapping the filters of different colors. Optical fiber is the main body in the optical fiber lighting system, and the role of optical fiber is to transmit or emit light to a predetermined place.

Optical fibers are divided into two types: end-emitting and bulk emitting. The former is the light beam transmitted to the endpoint and illuminated by the tail light, while the latter itself is a luminous body, forming a flexible beam of light. For optical fiber materials, it must be in the visible light range, and the loss of light energy should be minimal to ensure the quality of illumination.

However, it is not possible to have no loss, so the optical fiber transmission distance of about 30 m is optimal. There are three types of optical fibers: single-stranded, multi-stranded, and mesh-like. For a single strand of fiber, it has a diameter of 6 20mm

At the same time, it can be divided into two types: bulk luminescence and end luminescence. In the case of multi-strand fibers, they are all end-emitted. The diameter of multi-strand fibers is generally , and the number of strands is usually from a few to hundred.

Mesh fibers are composed of fine-diameter body-emitting fibers. Flexible light bands can be formed. Theoretically, light travels in a straight line.

But in practice, people want to change the direction in which light travels. After hundreds of years of unremitting efforts by scientists, optical elements such as lenses and mirrors are used to change the direction of propagation infinitely. The emergence of optical fiber lighting is based on changing the direction of light propagation a finite number of times to realize the flexible propagation of light.

As far as we know, optical fiber is polymerized by liquid polymer compounds, which has the characteristics of strong light conductivity, power saving, durability, no heat, no pollution, bendability, color-changing, wide range of environmental adaptation, and safe use. The light guiding mode of optical fiber is divided into soft and warm linear optical fiber and shining point optical fiber, which is widely used in building decoration lighting, landscape decoration lighting, cultural relics and handicrafts lighting, special occasion lighting, billboards, entertainment venues and other decorative lighting projects. Just as the arc is divided into a straight line after countless times, optical fiber illumination is reflected an infinite number of times, and the light is transmitted along the path of the optical fiber, achieving flexible propagation.

However, the flexible propagation of optical fiber illumination has not changed the classical theory of straight line propagation of light. Optical fiber type: ordinary solid linear optical fiber, PVC solid linear optical fiber, thermoplastic solid point optical fiber, PVC solid point optical fiber.

As far as I know, why fiber optic lamps are used as wicks, because fiber optic lamps use the principle of total reflection to deliver light to where it is needed through optical fibers. Fiber optic lamps use lenses and reflectors to change the propagation direction of the pipeline infinitely, so as to achieve flexible propagation of light. As far as fiber optic materials are concerned, they must be controlled in the visible range to ensure the least energy consumption, so the transmission distance of optical fibers is limited.

Therefore, fiber optic lamps are not mainly used as lighting, and their brightness is not as good as ordinary lighting. Its main feature is that it is highly decorative, and the light beam conducted by the optical fiber is affected by the electronic control device, which can change different colors and create different atmospheres on different occasions.

Fiber wicks are an alternative to fixtures used to provide lighting. It is made up of many ultra-fine fiber bundles that can transmit light over long distances through hail light sources. Fiber wicks are commonly used for lighting in hospitals, offices, and homes.

When using a fiber wick, you first need to plug it into the fixture and then turn it on. The fiber wick can be replaced with a regular bulb, and the brightness can be adjusted as needed. The fiber wick can also be adjusted by the controller to make the color tone of the lighting more natural.

Some fiber wicks also have a color change function, which can change the color of the lighting through the controller to add some special atmosphere to the space.

The advantages of fiber wicks include:

The light source can be transmitted over a longer distance through the fiber source locust beam, so the illumination can be distributed more evenly in the space.

Fiber wicks typically have a long lifespan and can greatly reduce the frequency of bulb replacement.

Fiber wicks have a lower calorific value, so they can be used in a smaller space.

Answer: The use of fiber wick is to use the ghee sedan chair for lighting. Because the trace family is a fiber wick can only be used with ghee, edible oil is used for spike residue cotton wick.

Fiber optic illumination.

1.A single light source can have multiple luminous points with the same luminous characteristics;

2.The light source is easy to replace and easy to maintain;

3.The luminaire can be placed in a location that is difficult for non-professionals to reach, so it is vandal-resistant;

4.No ultraviolet and infrared light, which can reduce the damage to certain items such as cultural relics and textiles;

5.The luminous point is miniaturized, light in weight, easy to replace and install, and can be made into a very small size, which can be placed in glassware or other small objects to glow to form a special decorative lighting effect;

6.There is no electromagnetic interference, and it can be used in special places with electromagnetic shielding requirements such as nuclear magnetic resonance room and radar control room;

7.No electric sparks, no electric shock hazard, can be used in chemical, oil, natural gas platforms, fountain pools, swimming pools and other fire, sexual danger or wet and watery special places;

8.It can automatically change the light color;

9.Reusable and saves investment.

In the same homogeneous medium, light rays travel in a straight line. When light rays enter from one medium to another, they are reflected and refracted at the junction of the two mediums. When the angle of incidence exceeds the critical angle, the light rays are no longer refracted but are fully reflected.

After the light enters the optical fiber, there are multiple successive total reflections on the inner surface.
