EFO Update
EFO – Not Just For Grocery Chains…
In the past, we have told you about our successes with Fiberstars’ EFO (Efficient Fiber Optics ) technology with the retail grocery trade.
EFO is an ideal solution for this market since it allows grocery
retailers to illuminate fresh produce without exposing it to any
harmful UV or IR associated with traditional light sources.
We now have several casinos across Canada looking at using EFO for
lighting over gaming tables and for general area lighting. EFO is a
logical solution for casinos since it greatly reduces their
maintenance costs while saving up to 80% on energy expenses. It also
removes heat on the players at the gaming tables. We will keep you
updated as the first trial installations get underway.

Spirit of Canada Update!
Construction of Spirit Of Canada heats up!
Progress continues on the construction of what is expected to be the
world’s fastest 60’ racing yacht as Spirit Of Canada trudges forward
in the quest to win the VELUX 5 OCEANS Around the World Alone Race.
After being molded to exact specifications, both the hull and deck
had to be baked in 80’ ovens to ensure the proper chemical bonding
of the carbon fiber materials that form the structure and ensure the
strength of the boat.
The massive hull and deck of this racing machine are now complete
and ready for assembly – to be sealed together with the most hi-tech
materials known to man. Capable of speeds in excess of 40 miles per
hour, Spirit Of Canada will rocket Derek around the world in his
quest to be the first Canadian sailor to win such a prestigious
prize.
Considered to be the most grueling sporting event on the planet,
this race will commence in October of this year. Skipper Derek
Hatfield is optimistic about his ultimate victory as he takes on the
world and brings Canada to the forefront of the world sailing
community.
Spirit Of Canada will be launched early this summer in Cobourg,
Ontario where the boat is currently under construction. Magic Lite
will be taking some very lucky contest winners and guests aboard for
the “sail of a lifetime” as Derek tunes up the boat for the race on
Lake Ontario.

First Canadian Place - Fountain
Fiber Optic Application
Contribution by Barry Burton of Project Lighting Services
This Land Mark fountain at First Canadian Place in Toronto was in
need of a new state of the art lighting system. One that was not
susceptible to vandalism or potential liabilities of electrical shock
to the public.
A Fiber Optic lighting system provided a cost effective and
maintenance free solution for the customer.
Two outdoor rated 250W metal halide illuminators with colour wheels
were used for this project – one master and one slave, synchronized
for optimum colour change effects. The illuminators were installed at
the top of each end of the fountain, hidden behind existing shrubs.
Each illuminator had four runs of FSPT-75 fiber which ran down each
side of the fountain wall then along the water trough to the fixtures.
The fixtures that were used were custom made specifically for this
application. They were standard MR16 landscape fixtures that were
modified and adapted for use with the fiber optic lighting system.
Reflectors were included in each fixture to help increase and direct
the light output.
The result, as illustrated in the above images, was a stunning
water fountain which provided the customer with an energy efficient,
maintenance free, and safe system that will be enjoyed for years to
come.
