+ Why use our Fiber Optics for Presentation?

This fiber optic system has perfect color. There are no gaps, no missing colors, no dominant colors to fade or overwhelm, and no weak colors that fail to express. Becuase of its spectacular presentaion abilities, this fiber optic system can be found in museums accross the country including the National Museum of the American Indian -Smithsonian-.

+ Why Choose Light Notes Inc.?

Read Hunker, founder of Light Notes Inc. has been in the lighting and electrical industry since 1978 and started designing with NoUVIR® Fiber Optics in 2002. We only design and install NoUVIR fiber optics that is backed by 24 US patents and supports a ten year warranty.
Read pioneered NoUVIR® for use in wine cellars in 2002. This cellar is still performing today as the day it was commissioned.

Why Fiber Optics for Preservation? Our fiber optic lighting system provides perfect lighting without UV or IR. This means there is absolutely no heat, (Utra Violet Rays, (UV), in the room being illuminated. In a wine cellar for instance, the temperature reading at the thermostat location is the same temperature at the bottles location, (a cool 55°). Also, with the absence of IR, (heat), the humidity levels are consistent throughout the room further providing protection from cork degradation.

+ Light Notes Philosophy

We focus on the art, and architecture features with a strong emphasis on spatial awareness. Every light has a specific purpose. We strive for little to no lamp image so your eyes are directed to the artifact, not the light itself. The result is a stunning presentation.

+ What do you illuminate with Fiber Opics?

Wine collections, items in cases where IR can build up and change the humidity levels such as cigars cases, artifacts, American Indian baskets, textiles, pottery, fine art, paintings, antiques, photography, memorabilia. Anything that requires spectacular presentation and protection from harmful UV or IR.

+ Do I Save Energy with Fiber Optics?

Yes. For example, an LED lighting system was recently installed for a 3800 bottle cellar that had a total lighting load of 214 watts. About 70-72% of the 214 watts is “absorbed energy”, or IR. This is wasted energy you can’t see, not to mention, it’s emitting heat we simply don’t want.
For every watt of IR in the cellar, you pay 3 to 5 watts in energy to remove it via the wine cooler. With the light source out of the room being illuminated, the load on the wine chiller is reduced while maintaining while maintaing consistant humidity levels throughout the room.

+ What Maintenance is Needed?

There is no maintenance required in the display area being illuminated. The only maintenance is a 60 second lamp change which can be performed without tools. The projector that houses the lamp and small (7 db) whisper quite fan is located out of the room being illuminated and away from the artifacts being illuminated.

+ Is There a Warranty?

Yes, the manufacture has a 10 year warranty on the fiber, projector, and optics. Please inquire for installation warranty details.
