A prefabricated article 20 comprises at least one side emitting light fibre 22 attached to its outer surface. The at least one fibre is preferably in the form of a tail 22 that comprises a bundle of fibre optic strands contained within a polymer sheath. The side emitting light fibre may be of polymer construction or may contain cracked glass strands. Two or more fibre tails 22 may be attached to the article and they can either be interwoven with one another or they can be separate. The prefabricated article is preferably the hull of a boat or a panel of a motor vehicle such as a car, and is preferably formed from layers of fibres 24 impregnated with resin 26, such as fibreglass. A light emitting diode can be used as an alternative to the fibre optic. |
