Which optical fiber to use?

The 1.5mm diameter optical fiber is the usual first choice in developing your lighting system. This is because it is 2 1/4 times brighter than the 1.0mm diameter end glow fiber and, therefore, typically provides the right lighting for a house on the layout using only one fiber. Larger buildings will require more fibers if all of it is to be lit inside.

The 1.0mm diameter optical fiber is ideal for street lamps. Some customers want to create their own lights, for which this fiber is the most recommended.

Smaller fiber sizes are also available providing for applications such as car lights, lighting in trees or others that you can imagine.
