OPTICAL FIBRE LIGHTS…

#AbFav_MONTH_of_DECEMBER_🎀

 

I am always on the look-out for visually interesting props, this is obviously a set of fibre optic lights, consists of 6 balls which I arranged in different ways to get a pleasing composition.

The light-guiding principle behind optical fibres was first demonstrated in Victorian times when the total internal reflection principle was used to illuminate streams of water in elaborate public fountains, but modern optical fibres were only developed in the beginning of the 1950's.

An optical fibre is a flexible, transparent fibre made by drawing glass (silica) or plastic to a diameter slightly thicker than that of a human hair.

Daniel Colladon and Jacques Babinet first demonstrated the guiding of light by refraction, the principle that makes fibre optics possible, in Paris in the early 1840s.

Now that we are back on Winter time, it is dark very early, the weather's gone bad, I've had plenty of time to think and be creative in the studio once more.

And we NEED light and joy more than ever!

 

I am enjoying the burst of creativity, I wish you all a day full of light and THANK you for your visit and comments, so appreciated, Magda (*_*)
