What is it and what does it do?
- The illuminator is where we turn electricity into light which is then fed into the fiber optic harness.
- Illuminator power is expressed in Watts - the higher the wattage, the more powerful the illuminator is and the brighter the light output from it is.
- The illuminator also contains any effects wheels, such as a color or twinkle wheel which is supplied with the chosen kit. Effects wheels can also be purchased separately so you can add a different effect, or enhance the color changing effect by using one of our unique Varicolor color wheels.
- The illuminator is the only part of a fiber optic system which contains electricity, and therefore must be housed in a dry environment. Some of our kit ranges, such as the star deck kits, and the garden kits are supplied with a weatherproof enclosure, allowing you to house the illuminator outdoors.
- For other kit ranges, weatherproof enclosures are available as optional extras.
