This is a rather bizarre, but interesting and entertaining product that is perfect for the bedrooms of children. It allows you to turn a ceiling into something that resembles the night sky, in other words a mini home planetarium.
The Fibre optic star field arrives in a sort of kit form and comprises a large number of small fibre optic cables, all sourced from a central supply.
The cables arrive amassed together and you simply remove the packaging, separate the individual cable strands and start your project.
The way it works is very simple, but quite time consuming. You make a plan of the position of the stars on the ceiling and then drill small holes (large enough to take the optic strands) at the points where you want the stars to appear.
The cables/strands are then fed into each (star) hole from above to produce a complete mini solar system.
For complex designs two or more kits can be combined and suppliers of these "fibre optic star fields" will usually make up custom designs for those who want them.
The same kits can also be used in other rooms and on other surfaces, e.g. walls, to create a range of eye catching and entertaining effects.
