We here at HacknMod love fiber optics. Besides transmitting data across the world at the speed of light, fiber optics can also be used to create spectacular lighting elements. This fiber optic chandelier features wireless controls along with RGB color selection:
The chandelier uses marbles as diffusers at the end of each fiber strand. The entire display is controlled via Xbee modules with an Arduino for the brain. The chandelier above is a bit rough around the edges, but below is a similar fiber optic lighting fixture we featured previously.
