FIBERS

• Description: the star ceiling fiber optic acrylic fibers transmit light from a halogen illuminator to your ceiling while a “twinkle wheel” (with alternating opaque and transparent sections) rotates in front of the halogen lamp inside the illuminator creating a mesmerizing “twinkling” effect at the other end of the fibers
• Room Size: can be used in a room up to about 15ft x 15ft. The fibers, of course, may be placed closer together or further apart from each other.
• Number of Fibers: 175 fibers jacketed in groups of 7 & 14 fibers
• Length of Fibers: 70 fibers are 20ft long, 42 fibers are 15ft long, 28 fibers are 12ft long, and 35 fibers are 10ft long
• Diameter of Fibers: 0.50 mm (millimeter) or about 0.02in (roughly 1/64 of one inch)
• No Heat: fiber optic illumination gives off with no heat
• No Maintenance: once installed the fibers need no maintenance

ILLUMINATOR

• Illuminator: the star ceiling illuminator comes with one 75-watt 12-volt MR16 halogen lamp that is replaceable. Each illuminator also comes equipped with a cooling fan and a twinkle wheel.
• Lamp Wattage: maximum 75 watts
• Minimal Maintenance: the lamp in the illuminator needs to be replaced occasionally
• Dimensions: 8.5in(L) x 6.5in(W) x 5.0in(H)
• Electrical Connections: comes with a 5ft cord with a 3-prong grounded plug plus a 4.5ft cord with an on/off rocker switch for the twinkle wheel and an on/off rocker switch for the illuminator
• Required Voltage: operates properly only with 120 volts. To find out what voltage your country supplies please view the World Electric Guide.
• Ventilation: if the illuminator is housed in an enclosed, vented space, the dimensions of that space must include at least an extra 3in on all sides of the illuminator.

INSTALLATION

• Ceiling Access: access above the ceiling is required because this is where all of the fibers and the illuminator will be stored
• Not Under Water: neither the fibers nor the illuminator should be used under water
• Easy to Install: please refer to these Installation Instructions (PDF). Always check local electrical codes and the National Electrical Code (NEC) before installing any lighting products. It is also wise to consult with a licensed electrician in your geographical area about any electrical details that you might have questions about and to make certain that you are satisfying all of the appropriate electrical codes.
