What is TapeLite ® ??What is TapeLite ® ??TapeLite is a new, unique, rugged, totally passive optical lighting flat cable technology…. from .5 inches (12.7 mm) up to 3.6 inches wide (91.4 mm)TapeLite carries no electricity… thus no bulbs to burn out or electro- luminescence to degrade….ever! TapeLite is driven (illuminated) by RGB LED, metal halide, or quartz halogen illuminators

Construction OverviewConstruction OverviewTwisted fibers cause fiber’s maximum light acceptance angle to be violated, thus light leaks out at the fiber bends

Parallel sections of fiber at the cable ends are provided to allow maximum effective light launch into cable, and also to provide a convenient “cable tail” for routing to the illuminatorParallel sections can be a maximum of 20 ft (6.1 m)

Why TapeLite technology is clearly superior:

Why TapeLite technology is clearly superior:

Twisted fibers are laminated to reflective films…. this creates a much broader surface area for light to reflect from, thus emitting more light.Parallel fibers at the cable ends provide for a very effective light launch into the cable. They also provide for a very high fiber density in the fiber port.

Application RecommendationsApplication RecommendationsMaximum length:

With 150 Watt Metal Halide:110 ft (33.5 m) with 150 watt metal halide illuminator on each end

(includes 5 ft (1.52 m) tails on each end45 ft (13.7 m) driven on one end with reflector other end

(includes 5 ft (1.52 m) tail on one endWith LED Illuminators:

60 ft (18.3 m) driven both ends(includes 5 ft (1.52 m) tails on each end

25 ft (7.6 m) driven on one end with reflector other end(includes 5 ft (1.52 m) tail on one end

When driving from one end, always use a reflectorMinimum bend radius: 3 inches (76.2 mm)Right angle bends: Fold the cable with a loop, then cross over the cable at a right angle. Mask the loopOutdoor cables: Should use PVC jacket with UV and fungus resistance, or TapeLite Snap TrackTail length: maximum is 20 ft (6.09 m) Keep as short as possible to minimize light loss

Why design with a TapeLite System?Why design with a TapeLite System?

TapeLite provides a way to differentiate your design with unique lighting.

TapeLite strips can be scaled up to cover large surface areas with dramatic results.

Color changes “move” across the cable, providing unique visual interest with illuminators equipped with color wheels

TapeLite is intrinsically safe. No electricity in the cable, so you can install it under water ! TapeLite is a “green” technology. A 50 ft length driven by two LED illuminators uses only 1.0 watts per foot

Page 39: Tape Lite Introduction

Amphenol Spectra-StripEn-Lite-en-ment starts here ©

Why design with a TapeLite System?Why design with a TapeLite System?

Power source is remotely located from the light.

No bulbs to burn out. Less maintenance costs.

Compatible will all illuminator types: RGB LED, quartz halogen or metal halide.

Almost infinite possibilities for different colors, dimming, and programmable special effects.

Variety of UV resistant, rust proof mounting methods.
