Information
Universal Fibre Optics are one of the few manufacturers of glass fibre for lighting in the world. We also make polymer products and are the official distributor for Mitsubishi polymer lighting fibre in the UK.
The majority of the products here are designed and manufactured in our facility in the UK using the latest technology to ensure quality and performance. We have one of the widest ranges of light sources and end fittings in the world.
Most of our products are supplied as complete systems though we can also supply individual items and reels of fibre to installers and manufacturers.

End Fittings
While discreet and aesthetically pleasing, many fittings offer the added benefit of flexibility with the focusing and directing of the light emitted from the ends of the tails.
Although not always necessary, the end fittings allow for the tails to be easily installed in the chosen location/material, e.g. wood, plaster board, decking.
Light Sources
The light source is the unit which houses the bulb, transformer, fan, colourwheel and other scene setting/dimming and control gear.
In short, all the electrical components. The light sources are fan cooled and require some ventilation.
Fibre Optic Harnesses
Harnesses comprise one or more tails (or cables) of fibre optics which transmit the light from the light source (projector) over a distance.
They are joined together in a connector (common end) and are normally separate at the other. Harnesses may be terminated at the loose end depending on the type of fibre used.
Polymer Fibre
We can supply polymer fibre on rolls to manufacturers and installers. We have unsheathed and sheathed single fibres and sheathed bundles of 0.75mm fibre, normally in stock.
We can also make runs of special bundles to your specification. The normal sheathing material is low smoke halogen free.
Cabinet & Display Products
Specialised products for conservation and retail display lighting.
We have a number of unique products specially designed for this purpose in addition to our main range.
Star Effects
One of the main features of fibre optic lighting is its ability to light a number of points from one light source.
One of the best demonstrations of this is shown in star effect ceilings and floors.
Special Fabrications
Universal Fibre Optics can fabricate many types of assembly to assist in the installation of the fibre optics.
We have a number of proprietary products.
Industrial Products
