How do I create different colored points of light ?

 
While the filament is clear, it's possible to introduce color to your application through a number of different methods.
 
Colored Light Source
 
The fiber optic filament will transmit the color (wavelength) of the light source.

Colored LED's are becoming a very popular fiber optic light source.

 


Color Wheel or Color Filter
 
Adding a color filter or color wheel between the light source and the 'starting end' of the fiber optic filament is another popular method of introducing color,
 


Colored Paint
 
While not as popular, painting one or both ends of the fiber optic filament will also add color.  Be sure to use plastic friendly paints.
