KANVASLIGHT FABRIC

KanvasLight Light Up Fabric

Kanvaslight revolutionizes lighting by using optical fibers in a way that has never been seen before. By weaving the optical fibers into a fabric, Kanvaslight is able to turn any textile structure into a beautiful lighting piece. Kanvaslight can be integrated into any textile or composite and is designed to survive any environment. Kanvaslight can be integrated with:

  • Sewn
  • Stitched
  • Glued
  • And more…

KanvasLight Optical Fiber Lighting

SMOOTH PERFORMANCE FABRIC

This fabric has a lower density of optical fibers. This option is perfect for aesthetic lighting. Perfect as a design tool, for accent lighting or retro-lighting.

HIGH PERFORMANCE FABRIC

This fabric has a higher density of optical fibers built into the fabric. This allows for a greater amount of light to be emitted from the fabric.

OPTICAL WIRES

KanvasLight OPTICAL WIRES
To integrate the electronic device further away from the illuminating fabric, we developed optical wires made to transport the light between the light injector and the fabric with minimum light losses.
No electricity flows into the optical wires, only light.
