Video & text guideTHE ACTIVITY & MECHANISM
Observe changing paths in a rotating optical arrangement
Light travels in straight lines through a uniform medium. At an interface, part of the light may be reflected and part transmitted. When light enters a different medium at an angle, its direction generally changes through refraction. Different optical elements make these paths visible.

Explore the supportDelivery, installation & after-sales terms
- Payment
- A 50% deposit is payable after the contract is signed. The remaining balance is paid after acceptance and before dispatch, so full payment is received before dispatch. Payment methods are agreed in the contract.
- Packaging & transport
- Metal shipping cases or multilayer wood-panel shipping cases. Transport arrangements and costs are agreed to suit the project.
- Materials & painted finish
- Common material options include Q235 steel, stainless steel, aluminium alloy, PVC, acrylic, engineering plastics. The combination is selected for each configuration. Marine anti-corrosion paint with a piano-gloss automotive paint finish. Applied to painted parts.
- Typical power · powered versions
- Standard products: 100–500 W; oversized installations: 1,000–5,000 W. Typical ranges for powered versions. Confirm the selected model and final connected load.
- Product maintenance
- Use the approved non-abrasive cleaning method for transparent surfaces and check their fixings. Include optical alignment and enclosure checks in the handover instructions. Include drive, moving-part clearances, guards and accessible fasteners in the inspection checklist.
- Installation & training
- Complimentary training is available on site or remotely, according to project needs. If installation or on-site after-sales service is not included in the product price, the customer pays the actual travel expenses incurred, unless the contract provides otherwise.
- Factory acceptance & handover
- Mid-production and pre-dispatch checks are provided. Factory acceptance can take place in person at the factory or through acceptance videos. Installation and operating videos, written installation and operating instructions, drawings and a spare-parts list are provided.
- Complimentary parts
- 24 months of complimentary spare-parts support, starting when the exhibit is handed over for use. Covers faults not caused by the user. User-caused or deliberate damage is excluded. Exhibit Engineers pays the shipping cost of complimentary spare parts during the 24-month support period.
- Warranty & repair labour
- The whole-exhibit warranty period and repair labour scope and charges are agreed in the contract.
Can we discuss a prototype or sample for a custom version?
Yes. Prototype testing and sample fabrication are available for custom projects. Discuss which functions or features you need to review for your version. The scope, cost and schedule are agreed for the project.
How prototype testing & samples workWhat can be adapted for our project?
Discuss the appearance, interpretation, controls and installed configuration of Light Island for your audience and space.
What do the images and videos show?
The gallery labels photographs, video frames, renderings and the dimension drawing. Physical footage is identified separately.
