Pt. 4 Fiber Optic Lights Arrive

Just a quick little update.  The colored fiber optics I purchased arrived.  175ft of various colors.  Red, blue, green, yellow and white.  These are not part of the kit itself.  This is additional lighting I will be installing on my own.


Man these are small.  .25mm in diameter. About the size of a strand of hair.


I wasn't sure how bright .25mm fiber would be, but they light up quite nicely.


The size is just perfect for the cockpit of the Falcon.  Here's a green fiber against the front console  unit for scale test.  Because the fiber is actually laying down, it'll be brighter when coming straight through as opposed to it's side.

    The process is not so simple. It comprises of hardware control, software support along with so many sensors to actually collect and analyze the results. Tester
