fiber optic lighting
does anyone know what type of reduction can be expected from running light through fiber optic cable. i realize it depends on the cable and length, any rough numbers would be much appreciated. i have come across attenuation numbers, but how does a reduction in decibel/ft relate to par/lumen loss? as you can probably tell i have no expierence with fiber optics
 cheers, eric

I might have it in a Fiber Optic OTDR manual, when I get a chance I'll have a look. The best I can do off the top of my head is .25db per Km @ 1550 nm. Or .35db per Km @ 1320 nm. That's assuming you are using singlemode fiber and a laser. What kind of light source are you using?

i would be great if they have fiber optics that can filter out infrared light so we can use sunlight without the burning effect.

hey aaron,
thanks for the response. i was looking at those utilizing 150 or 250w MH, i believe they are g12 bulbs.

The wavelength of the light source, power rating. Fiber type, Make and Manufacturer all play a role. I couldn't find the g12 light source that you are referring to. I did find this site though: http://trinorthlighting.com/Store/in...index&cPath=90 Is that what you are trying to do?
