Questions and answers
Can a projector be used with a dimmer? All projectors manufactured by us from the 20W till 75W range can be used with a dimmer. An exception to this are larger, 100W projectors and projectors with a twinkle or colour twinkle effect. In these models, dimmer use is only available as an option.
Does a projector have a fan, and does it produce a noise? Projectors manufactured by us up till the 75W range, have no fans and consequently are noiseless. The larger 100-150W projectors are equipped with fans.
Can a smaller bulb be substituted to a projector, in case the light seems too bright? Yes, the bulb can always be replaced by a smaller one. When changing the bulb, please note that even a small change can make a surprisingly big difference in the luminous flux.
Can a projector be installed in a sauna? Our range also includes a model that can be installed in a sauna, click here for more information.
Does the ready-made sauna set include a lens fitting for the stove? Yes, all sauna lighting sets for the ceiling include a lens. An exception to this is the decorative Deco Fibre set, for which it is available on order.
What kind of sauna set would be suitable for me? The easiest way of deciding what kind of fibre optic set would be suitable for your own sauna would be to follow our design and installation instructions. These will include hints on how many fibres/m² you would need in your sauna.
Where could I find help for designing optic fibre lights? Our design and installation guidelines will help you in the right direction.
Would optic fibre lighting be enough to light my shower room? It is quite possible to implement the whole lighting solution of the shower room with fibre optics. It is important to understand that more light is generally needed in the shower room than in the sauna. In this case, it would be best to select slightly heavier ø 3-6 mm fibres and a more powerful 75W projector.
Will the fibres of the Deco set last in the ceiling and on top of the stove? Yes, they will, as the fibres of the Deco range are glass fibres and stand temperatures of more than 200°C.
Is there a lens available for the Deco set? Yes, a lens is available for the Deco set. Click here for more information on this product.
Where is the VP1 projector installed? Can it be installed in the sauna and encased? NO, this VP1 model projector may not be installed in the sauna. The protection class IP20 of the projector indicates that it can be installed in a dry space following the instructions. A sauna is not a dry space.
Can glass bricks be illuminated with fibres? Yes, we have several alternatives for the illumination of glass bricks. The most important thing is to take this idea in consideration when making the plans, so that the necessary space can be left for the fibres.
How is the water bucket illuminated? The bucket is illuminated by the integrated reflector. The light source in the bucket is an optic fibre.
Is one fibre enough to light the bucket? One heavy fibre alone is enough to light it. A more even end result can be reached by using two.
What if, the light switches off and then on after a short while. What's the problem? It is likely that the projector has been installed into a space that is either too small or too hot. Alternatively, it has been installed up-side-down in the ceiling. Both installations are against the installation instructions of the product and cause the thermal fuse in the projector to switch off. Once the projector has cooled down, it switches on again.
Are there end fittings available for the Starlit Ceiling fibres? No end fittings can be connected to our ready-made Starlit Ceiling sets. An exception to this is the Crystal Star model. In case you want a Starlit Ceiling with crystal end fittings, we can tailor the product and manufacture it to your wishes.
