Be it indoor or outdoor, fiber optic lighting presents one of the safest approaches to decorative illumination in architectural or commercial applications.  Light is carried over the entire fiber optic cable without electricity or heat, transmitting only pure light to wherever illumination is desired.  Fiber optics provide an ideal method of safely lighting valuable and irreplaceable museum pieces as it eliminates harmful UV and IR rays, found by conventional lighting.  The light source (illuminator) can be LEDs, metal halide or halogen lamps.
