NoUVIR (pronounced new-veer), stands for No UV and No IR. No Ultraviolet. No Infrared. Zero. Nada. Zilch. None. Just stone-cold, pure-white fiber-optic light with absolute control over aim, focus and intensity.
Early in the 1990's Ruth Ellen Miller, a Magna Cum Laude business graduate with a post graduate teaching credential in Art and Design, and her father, Jack Miller, a scientist and optical engineer with well over one hundred U. S. patents, became concerned about photochemical damage to our nation's art and historical artifacts.Historical documents were fading to the point of becoming illegible.
Artwork was drying, cracking and losing color, slowly turning dull and lifeless. The cumulative damage being done even in museum settings was horrific. At that time no one knew exactly what light was. No one knew exactly how photochemical damage happened. And, no one knew how to stop the damage other than by hiding everything away in the dark.

The PARA-FOL (pronounced pair-a-foal) flood luminaire is a small fiber optic floodlight luminaire with a high-tech, black parabolic reflector. With just a 5/16 diameter reflector opening, this miniature floodlight provides a sharp cut-off with virtually no visible high-angle light; so the fixture disappears even though light streams from it.
The MICRO-FOL Zoom-and-dim Spotlight couples the black parabolic reflector of a PARA-FOL with a patented lens designed specifically for a fiber optic source. The result is an awesome miniature spotlight giving pure-white, stone-cold NoUVIR light that easily adjusts from a 15° spotlight to a 50° floodlight and anywhere between.
NoUVIR track systems are a simple way to mount fiber optic luminaires so that they can be moved, arranged, and rearranged for changing needs and changing exhibits. There are no electrical connections. Luminaires can be snapped into place at any position and are easily moved, exchanged, adjusted, focused, and aimed.
Some companies sell dozens of fiber optic projectors. We sell one. The CLDN-HP (COLD-NOSE High Power) Projector has perfect color, perfect optics, high intensity, no damaging heat at the fiber, extremely low noise and everything that can fail (including the low cost lamp) is in a snap out, replaceable, inexpensive drawer.
NoUVIR sells only aerospace grade pMMA solid "acrylic" optical fiber. This is the same material used to make jet fighter canopies. Measured light loss is a tiny 0.7% per foot. As the instructions above show, NoUVIR fiber is easy to install. No planning everything to the inch. No hot knives to damage fiber (or you).
