fiber optic lamp

Luminous thread decoration

A fiber optic lamp is a decorative light fixture featuring numerous thin optical fibers that fan out from a central base, each strand carrying light to its tip.

The fibers typically cycle through colors, creating a fountain-like spray of shifting points of light.

Popular as novelty items since the 1970s: She had a fiber optic lamp on her nightstand as a kid.
