Does this kit include the fiber optic cables?

No, this product is the light source (illuminator) only. You must purchase fiber optic cables separately to create a complete lighting system.

What is the difference between side glow and end glow fiber?

This illuminator is designed for side glow fiber, which illuminates along its entire length like a neon tube. End glow fiber only emits light from the cut end, creating a 'starry sky' effect.

How many fiber strands can I put in one head?

Each head can hold a single 4-6mm fiber, or a bundle of smaller fibers, as long as the total diameter of the bundle does not exceed 6mm.

Is the remote control IR (Infrared) or RF (Radio Frequency)?

This unit includes an RF remote, which is superior to IR as it does not require a direct line of sight. You can control the lights even if the illuminator is hidden.

Can I use this in my house instead of a car?

Yes, you can use it for indoor projects by connecting it to a proper DC 12V power supply that plugs into a wall outlet.

What kind of battery does the remote need?

The remote requires a single CR2025 button cell battery, which is not included with the product.
