What are they?

Need an exceptionally bright, punchy illuminator for your fiber optic lighting system? Metal halide illuminators are often used in projects with long fiber runs, or anywhere where you need a highly efficient and powerful illuminator.

Metal halide illuminators (fiber optic projectors) use a discharge lamp which is highly efficient, and shines much brighter than the equivalent wattage in a halogen lamp.

Metal halide illuminators are perfect for projects calling for brighter, stronger light. They're also the ideal choice if it's important to keep lamp changes to an absolute minimum, for example in hard-to-access settings or harsh environments, as metal halide lamps typically have a much longer operating life than the tungsten halogen equivalent.

Metal halide discharge lamps aren't dimmable, so simply choose one of our decorative or DMX controlled illuminators with a dimmer wheel feature. Typically these are used with the larger diameters of fiber, and controlled by a separate electrical feed or by a DMX controller.
