Starry Sky
Starry Sky weaves hundreds of fiber-optic points of light into a dark stretch ceiling, recreating a realistic night sky overhead — with shooting stars and twinkle effects available on request.
Overview
What Is Starry Sky?
Starry Sky sets hundreds of individual fiber-optic strands into a dark-toned stretch ceiling, each one ending in a pinpoint of light. A projector unit feeds the fibers, so the entire star field is powered from a single hidden source above the ceiling — no bulbs are ever inside the room itself.
- ✓Hundreds of individually placed points of light for a realistic star field
- ✓Optional shooting-star and twinkle effects
- ✓Fully dimmable, from a faint glow to a bright night sky
- ✓Fiber-optic light source stays outside the room — no heat, no bulbs to reach or change
Options

Guidance
How to Choose
- Choose star density based on room size — denser fields suit larger, taller ceilings.
- Decide on effects upfront — twinkle and shooting-star wiring is set during installation.
- Pick a dimmer-compatible control so the sky can go from bright to barely-there.
- Consider pairing with a shadow-gap or Light Lines border to frame the star field.
- Ask to see a fiber-optic sample lit in a dark room before committing to density.
