Experience the perfect symbiosis of technology and design. We offer innovative solutions for sophisticated lighting concepts, both indoors and outdoors. Our high-quality fiber optic systems allow you to stage light effectively – whether as a subtle accent or a functional highlight. Rely on quality from our own manufacturing and transform spaces into unique lighting environments with our durable, flexible components.

Components / for enchanting light

Our technology is predestined for discreet or accentuated lighting without disturbing luminaires. With our components – light projector | fiber optic cable | end optic – you can install light sources for any application indoors and outdoors. In private or public spaces, in dry or wet areas, in functional, decorative or artistic applications… we have a tailor-made product for every situation.

Lighting / with fiber optic technology

Advantages of fiber optic lighting systems compared to conventional lighting systems:

  • High safety, as only light is transmitted
  • No heat transfer, light emission as cold light
  • Insensitive to water or aggressive liquids
  • No transmission of harmful UV/IR radiation
  • Long service life and thus high efficiency, fiber optic cables are practically not subject to aging
  • Smallest installation dimensions
  • Easiest handling, problem-free installation
  • Flexible installation options, variety of designs

Fiber Optic Cables / flexible

Fiber optic cables made of PMMA plastic fibers or high-purity glass fibers are used for the flexible transmission of light from the light projector to the loose or fixed light output.

  • PMMA or glass fiber
  • Types: End-emitting fibers and side-glowing fibers (Sidelight)
  • Use: indoor and outdoor, underwater
  • Processing: gluing, grinding, polishing
  • Sheathing: halogen-free, flame-retardant FRNC plastic
  • Transmission distance PMMA: 25 m and more
  • Transmission distance glass fiber: max. 12 m
  • Temperature range PMMA: -20°C – +80°C
  • Temperature range glass fiber: -40°C – +150°C

End Optics / focused

FOS Inon offers you a wide range of spotlights, floor spotlights, recessed ceiling spotlights and light lines. Lenses, prisms and satined glass panes are used to bundle, scatter or direct the light. With our lens spotlights, light cones of e.g. 20° to 70° can be realized. Our end optics are usually handcrafted from high-quality stainless steel. They are also suitable for wet areas such as saunas, steam baths, pools or garden ponds. Due to the modular concept, you can choose between fiber optic and LED light:

Starry sky / spherical sparkle

Private applications, such as conservatories, bathrooms, shower and living areas, as well as large-scale projects such as foyers, hotel lobbies, wellness & SPA facilities, saunas, steam baths or even presentation rooms, become an experience with a FOS Inon starry sky. Additional light or color moods can be created as well as individual points of light designed as sparkling stars. These effects can be achieved with our LED light projectors from the VISIO, VITRO and VERO series.

Starry sky floor / dreamlike ambience

Whether in wooden decks or in the bottom of a swimming pond – there is hardly any more creative lighting design for effect lighting in the garden and outdoors. Whether the optical fibers are laid as ambient lighting for the wooden jetty to the swimming pond or whether individual zodiac signs are used – the simple installation of the optical fibers means there are no limits.

Light net / individually deformable

The FOS Inon light net is a unique way to capture light or set architectural accents. Polymer optical fibers are woven in during the manufacturing process. Due to the integration of light guides into the fabric, the light net can be stretched, stretched and individually designed almost at will. For larger nets, i.e. more than 12 to 25 m stretched fiber length, light coupling on both sides is necessary.

Light column, light curtain / decorative

The light curtains or light columns can be used for a variety of applications: from decorative elements and designer lights to semi-transparent room dividers… in living areas, foyers or exhibition rooms, but also outdoors or even in damp rooms such as swimming pools or saunas. The sequential fiber breaks, executed by hand at intervals of 5 to 10 cm along the length of each individual fiber optic cable, deliver brilliant points of light and create a fantastic lighting experience.

Why Choose Light Guides from FOS Inon Fiber Optics?

Quality “Made in Germany” pays off. Thanks to our proprietary manufacturing and testing processes, we offer custom solutions for numerous applications, from laboratories to aerospace.

Excellent Performance

Optimal performance across various spectral ranges (white light, UV, NIR), achieved through state-of-the-art manufacturing processes and custom concepts tailored specifically for your application area.

Temperature-Resistant

Whether for cold or warm application environments, thanks to special jacketing, our glass fibers remain stable at temperatures ranging from -190°C to 390°C.

Acid-Resistant

Our light guides withstand adverse conditions thanks to their high chemical resistance.

Stabil & flexible

Thanks to the flexibility of the fiber optic cables, pressure is not a problem. Their bending strength is enormous, and very small bending radii are possible, ensuring the fiber optic cables remain reliably in use for a long time.

Qualität / made in Germany

Wir verfügen bereits über mehr als 30-jährige Erfahrung in der Ummantelung, Weiterverarbeitung und Konfektionierung optischer Fasern. Die Produkte werden in unserer Lichtmanufaktur ausschließlich in Handarbeit gefertigt. Unsere Endoptiken werden aus massiven hochwertigen Materialien wie z. B. Edelstahl, Messing und Aluminium gearbeitet. Die Materialoberflächen erfüllen höchste Ansprüche und werden je nach Anforderung dementsprechend veredelt und auf Wunsch handpoliert. Das Know-how aus der Fertigung von Lichtleitkabeln für die Sensor-, Medizin- und Lasertechnik konnte vollständig in die Lichttechnik eingebracht werden. Es sichert uns dadurch einen deutlichen technologischen Vorsprung – zu Ihrem Vorteil.
