Military : Advantages

RSL Fiber Systems’ Advanced Lighting System™ provides rugged design flexibility, safety of operation and unparrelled long distance applications when compared to conventional plastic (PMMA) optical fiber systems.

Remote Source Lighting Advantages:

  • Illuminators, or light engines, are placed in accessible and easily maintained areas.
  • Luminaires, or light emitters, can be remotely located up to 900 ft. from illuminator.
  • A single illuminator provides light to multiple luminaires.
  • Luminaires are small and maintenance-free, and can be located in hard to reach areas.
  • Luminaires can be located in harsh environments without damage or exposing people to elements.
  • Improved illumination patterns are distributed through luminaire optics.
  • Filters and dimmers in illuminators can:
    • Eliminate emissions
    • Change light colors and intensity
    • Switch instantaneously from white lights to Night Vision Imaging System (NVIS).
