As often happens, the best inventions are the result of synergy and collaboration between fields very far each other; this is what happened to Luminex. The idea was to “weave the light” with optic fibres. Luminex combines technology and electronics with fabrics, using high efficient LEDs to spread light safely at very low voltages (3,6V). Powered via a commercial battery at 9V or with cells used in the mobile telephony technology, small rechargeable batteries with a duration of 7-8 hours.

Hello,
My name is Allistar and I just wanted you to know that I found this quite fascinating. I would like to know more about how you connected the LEDs to the fiber optics. What challenges you had and what did you learn. I am a graduate of ITP in NYC.
