The MetroLED Lighting System. Click, Twist, Play.
LED lighting systems have traditionally been the poor relation to fiber optics when it comes to illuminating objects and artefacts. Poor maintainability combined with light output over which you never felt you had full control have led to the generally superior fiber optic systems taking an overwhelming lead in the display lighting sector.
Until now. Now everything changes.
Universal Fiber Optics are proud to introduce you to MetroLED.
- Simple - even a child can build it
- Powerful - high powered LED's with both spotlight and linear options
- Controllable - dual channel dimming system
- Modular - it can be assembled in countless configurations
- Maintainable - if one LED reaches end of life, replace only that module
MetroLED really does offer all the above and much more, in a discreet, affordable package which can be rebuilt and reconfigured as often as your displays require it.
MetroLED allows you to change your lighting as often as you change your exhibits.
- Need to replace a long linear wash with individual spotlights? No Problem.
- Need to change from a wide to a narrow light beam to focus on a more intricate object? No Problem.
- Need to mix and match between 3000K or 4000K color temperatures? No problem.
- Need to do all of the above at once? That's no problem either.
MetroLED - it really is child's play.
