Sidelight

Sidelight

Sidelight cables from Roblon Lighting Division are the most flexible cables available on the market, and their uniform light effect, which is unequalled, is obtained by the twisting method (US.Pat. 5995702) of the fibers.

UV-  and alga resistance

The sidelight cables have a certified UV and alga resistance

Light effect

Sidelight fibre cables can change colour and they can “gleam” – their light effect cannot be compared to neon. To optimise utilisation of the light, the cable can be furnished with a waterproof termination with a built-in light reflector, causing part of the light to be returned through the cable.

Application and mounting

Sidelight is applied where safety, maintenance, and flexibility are important parameters. As the light is not live it can, in principle, be mounted anywhere. Sidelight cables can be mounted inside assembling rails, by strapping or by milling, e. g. into wooden profiles.

Assembling rails and straps are accessories for sidelight.
