What is a fiber optic Christmas tree?
A fiber optic Christmas tree is composed of strands of glass or plastic surrounded by a coating of a reflective material. Light is projected long distances through each strand and shines into the room. Fiber optics are a great idea for using it as a form of light.
They are also known as LED Christmas trees.
A Fiber Optic is a strand of glass (about the diameter of a human hair) surrounded by a reflective coating, used to transmit light over long distances. Some optical fibers can be made from plastic, have a large core (1 mm diameter) and transmit visible light from LEDs (Light Emitting Diode) or Bulbs. Fiber Optic Trees are made with plastic optical fibers with large core sizes. A Fiber Optic Tree is not a traditional pre-lit Christmas tree. You won’t have lights throughout the tree, instead just the tips of the branches have small fiber optic lights on them.
