Bygone Times - Fibre Optic Light




I may have been a little late in purchasing a ‘Fibre Optic’ light.

In fact I recall that my wife and I were given one as an engagement present in 1983.

Certainly when we proudly placed the light on mantle piece it was as if a piece of ‘Star Wars’ had come to our flat.

It was the coolest thing I've ever seen.

And the only way to appreciate was to draw the curtains and turn off all the lights.

And be mesmerized as tiny fibre optics created an almost starry effect.

It was visually stunning

Star Trek has come to our living room.

The colors changed from red to green to blue in a never ending, dazzling display of light magic

You were transported to another universe by the stunning effect.

The only down side was when the ‘Fibre optics’ started to break off and pick you with knife like precision.

But this was a small price to pay,

For a taste of the future and the stars in your living room.
