Technology<\/h1>\n<\/div>The name \u201ctextile lighting systems\u201d comes from the fact that textile materials are used as the light guide; it is not because they are used in textile end products. The incredible flexibility of this technology makes it particularly well suited for integrating light into textile applications. But that\u2019s not all: since it is easy to assemble and can be folded into (almost) any shape, it also gives outstanding results in non-textile products. This particularly applies in the case of complicated installation spaces where other technologies reach their limits.<\/p>\n
In their basic design, textile lighting systems consist of one or more LED light sources and a textile material \u2013 individual fibres or a fabric acting as the light guide. With such a fabric, clear plastic optical fibres or POFs made from PMMA are used, which, as weft threads, are woven with warp threads made from white polyester to form light-guiding fibre mats. The light-guiding individual fibres of the fabric are combined together in a ferrule with which they are connected to the LED modules.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The emission is activated at the desired light output areas, i.e. the fabric is specifically provided with individual light-scattering surface structures. A top fabric is placed over the light-guiding fibre mat. Optionally, a diffusor fabric and a reflector layer can also be used. If you do not activate the fibre mat, the light is emitted at the end of the fibre mat. You use such an axial emission to implement linear lighting.<\/p>\n
The LED modules that are designed for use in textile lighting systems consist of the integrated LED \u2013 monochrome, white or RGB \u2013 the LED driver and thermal elements. A special mixer optic is placed in front of the LED that ensures that the LED\u2019s light is distributed optimally to all polished fibre ends.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
