Fiber Optic Sensory Lighting

Fiber Optic Lighting for Sensory Rooms

Fiber-optic lighting is a core feature in many multi-sensory rooms, offering both visual and tactile stimulation. The soft glow and gentle shimmer of the strands encourage calm, focus, and engagement—especially beneficial for individuals with autism, sensory processing needs, developmental disabilities, dementia, or anxiety.

Because they are safe to touch, strong and cool to the skin, the Sideglow fiber-optic system is widely used in schools, hospitals, long-term care homes, therapy centers, and mobile sensory carts.

With the latest LED technology, SensoryOne’s fiber-optic products provide brilliant colour, low maintenance, and long-lasting performance.

Fiber Optic Sideglow

Sideglow with Low Profile Easy Switches

Sideglow with Nine Switch and Easy Switches

Sideglow fiber-optic lighting uses a new generation of LED-powered light sources that are stronger, quieter, brighter, smaller, and cooler than previous models. They can function automatically by changing colors randomly or be controlled by the user with optional handheld switches such as the Low Profile and Nine Switch Keyboard.

Colors transition smoothly, never flashing or jumping, but gradually fade between eight vibrant colors. This promotes relaxation and reduces overstimulation, making Sideglow ideal for calming spaces.

The Sideglow Fiber Optic lighting comes with 200 individual tails (strands) each is approximately 200cm (6.5ft) long.

Fiber Optic Curtains

A fiber-optic curtain can create an inviting entrance, divide a room, or serve as a feature within an activity area.

The strands form a gently moving curtain of colour that users can touch, walk through, or sit beside. Curtains come in a wide range of widths and lengths to suit both small and large sensory rooms.

Fiber Optic Cascade Box

Mounted on a wall, the cascade box releases 200 strands of glowing fiber optics that fall gracefully to the floor like a colorful waterfall. The colors can be set to change randomly on their own or controlled using our Low Profile and Nine Keyboard Switches.

This feature offers:

  • A soothing, ever-changing visual effect
  • A highly engaging tactile element
  • Meaningful interaction for individuals with profound or complex needs

Users can handle, move, and explore the translucent strands safely.

Fiber Optic Showers

Similar to curtains but suspended from the ceiling, the fiber-optic shower creates a vivid column of soft, shifting color.

  • Diameter: 45 cm (18 in)
  • Length: 190 cm (75 in)

Perfect as a focal point or calming retreat within a room.

Fiber Optic Light Tactile Wall Panels

Suspended from the ceiling, the Sparkle Cloud creates the effect of a glowing galaxy of twinkling color changing stars with its 200 points of LED lights.
