Hello.
>
>We are exploring what we might be able to do with fiber optics in our
>temporary exhibits, but I have a few questions.
>
>My main question concerns light levels. If fiber optic lighting produces no
>UV or heat (as the literature says), is there any reason to still keep light
>levels below 5fc when using fiber optics?  Is there some conservation
>issue I'm just not thinking of?
>
>My second request is for anyone who has used fiber optics in exhibits to
>share their experiences.
>
>Please feel free to respond to me off list.  However, I did scour the
>Museum-L archives before writing this, and as far as I can tell there has
>been little discussion of fiber optics.
>
>Thanks in advance!
