The Fibre Optic Light Source provides a safe heat free and UV free bright light used for back illumination in bound books for research of water marks, repairs and photography. Paper and textile conservators will find the back lighting very useful as will other conservators who require a flexible, safe, cold, bright light for treatment or examination to a localised area of a specimen. Since no electricity is connected to the actual light sheet or lead (only electric power is at the light source) the sheet is safe to work in damp situations. The very thin (1.8mm) light sheet is water resistant, but not waterproof and should not be immersed in water. The selector switch has 3 settings for high and low light intensity with an off position. The lamp is 12 volt 50 watt dichroic reflector lamp and the sheet lead is 525mm long.
