TapeLite® is a dramatic and fun new lighting technology that features a unique, low-profile, flat plastic optical fiber construction that enables new ways to light spaces as never before. Long, flat and wide cable runs can now be safely illuminated with no electro luminescent fading, no bulbs to burn out, and no electricity needed in potentially hazardous areas. Once the cable is installed, it lights up safely and consistently year after year.

The flat, side-emitting fiberoptic cable is designed to accept a wide range of illuminators including quartz halogen, and metal halide lamps. Color wheels can be added to provide a variety of constant and changeable color options. With many packaging and application possibilities, TapeLite® can even be coupled with computer-controlled RGB LEDs for creative, colorful, interactive audio visualizations.

TapeLite is currently available from .5 inches up to 3.6 inches in width.
