UFO Nebula RGB Light Source
The UFO Nebula RGB light source is an advanced fibre optic unit with primary integral DMX control of individual LED multi-ports.
As well as full DMX adressing of each individual port, the Nebula also offers secondary manual dimming and a manual demonstration mode.
This is the ultimate light source for illuminating and controlling active display fibre optic effect lighting with spectacular colour change.
The Nebula features an LCD display which provides operator feedback for ease of use.
The Nebula is fitted with a 60 LED fibre multi-port output with 180 controllable fibre outputs.
Note that each fibre port can illuminate a number of individual 0.5mm or 0.25mm fibres. This makes the Nebula perfect for creating shooting star and other animated lighting displays which require numerous points of light to be effective.
DMX Addressing & Effects
The Nebula RGB features a 180-address-mode where each individual colour LED can be addressed and also a 3-address-mode where all LED's of a single colour can be addressed together.
There also 8 pre-defined manually selectable programs built into the light source which provide a variety of pre-programmed animation effects.

*Note that UFO recommends the use of Mitsubishi Eska fibre with the Nebula ferrules. We cannot guarantee fibre from other manufacturers will fit due to different tolerances.
Fibre Installation & Ferrule Types
The Nebula is compatible with 2 types of ferrules - crimp and glanded.
Crimp ferrules are supplied factory terminated on the fibre harness and are simply pushed into the white moulded sleeves on the top of the light source.
Glanded ferrules are suitable for termination on site either by UFO installers or by third parties. The fibre is pushed through the gland, the gland is tightened and then the fibre is trimmed flush at the bottom of the ferrule. The ferrules are then pushed fully into the moulded sleeves.
Each ferrule sits directly above an LED which illuminates each fibre individually.
