Can be tried with 405nm, but i have no fibers around for test them myself.
Hey, if it work, can be a special christmas tree decoration ..... already imagining some pieces of fibers, in multi color types, each one powered from a PHR, and all the diodes driven from a random or sequential controller ..... sure can be unusual enough for draw some attention
I used the 1mm and the 2mm fiber about 15' of both and it works great with my rpl : ) plus if you get the end cut right you can also burn things with the end of the optic fiber : )
Yes, but the ones that the OP talk about, are those fibers that glows for al the lenght, as light cables ..... i only don't know if the fiber glow for lateral diffusion of the light (and in this case a BR can do very few), or if the coating material is fluorescent / gitd type (and in this case, a BR can light them good, probably)
If is just a linear diffuser, need a high power for light them in the same way as with their leds .....
I know mine glow good with 450mw of green : ) even better with 1.8W : )
But I get what you're saying and to me I think it's just a normal fiber that they have 16W of LED power going through and if you think about it that's quite a bit.
Yes the fluorescent fibers are bright under a uv light. I had to buy them to re do the 5 pen sight on my bow so I have a few extra inches left over if you're anted to test it out before you bought a lot.
I'm pretty sure by "uv inhibitors," they mean an equivalent to sunblock so that UV does not degrade the polymer it is made of. I should still pass 405nm light easily.
