Universal Fiber Optic Lighting supplied a range of products, including end fittings, harnesses and illuminators to illuminate display cases for the Thomson Collection in the Art Gallery of Ontario.

The Thomson collection houses artworks gifted to the gallery by Ken Thomson who assembled the most important private art collection in Canada.

Universal Fiber Optic Lighting products are used extensively to illuminate the large collection of ship models.

The lighting at the top of the cabinets is supplied by UFO 34D fittings. 3mm fiber runs from the 100W dimmable illuminators located in the cabinet legs, up through the aluminum tubes and into the fittings.

To illuminate the underside of the ship models, 3mm fiber is also used. This has no end fittings and is held in place by radio nuts. This fiber is also fed from 100W dimmable illuminators located in the cabinet legs.
