4. Installation Guide

This section outlines the general steps for installing your fiber optic star ceiling kit. Installation can be a detailed process, especially for car headliners. Patience and careful planning are recommended.

4.1 Planning and Preparation

• Choose Light Engine Location: Select a location that is easily accessible for power connection, convenient for maintenance, and allows for proper ventilation.
• Determine Fiber Length: Calculate the required fiber length by measuring the distance from the light engine to each desired star point, then add an extra 30-40cm to account for slight tangles and insertion into the light engine.
• Mark Pattern: On the back of your ceiling panel (e.g., car headliner or home ceiling board), mark the desired star points for your pattern.

4.2 Installation Steps

1. Drill Holes: Drill holes vertically at each marked star point. The hole size should be appropriate for the fiber optic cable diameter (0.03 inches).
2. Insert Fibers: Insert the fiber optic cables approximately 10cm into the drilled holes from the back of the panel.
3. Secure Fibers: Fix the inserted fibers in place using hot melt adhesive or glass cement on the back of the panel.
4. Organize Fibers: Straighten and tie up the fibers in small bundles to prevent tangling. It is beneficial to count and group fibers by length or area before insertion.
5. Connect and Test: Connect the fiber optic bundle to the light engine, then connect the light engine to power. Power on the system to test the lighting.
6. Trim Excess: Once satisfied with the placement and function, clip off any excess fiber length from the front of the panel using nail clippers or a sharp blade to achieve a flush finish.
