If you can't find a source for fiber optics, find the cheapest fiber optic Christmas tree you can, a three or four foot tall one, and just cut them off the tree. You should be able to get at least three foot pieces.

Just a thought. Robert

tall one, and just cut them off< Usually a day or two after Christmas is the best time to do this!

The stuff I've been able to find is in large quantities (200-500 meters) and pretty expensive. I just want 30-50 meters.

I recently bought a cheap lamp that has strands of fibre optic strands coming out of the top. When at rest, the form a mushroom shape. The lamp is powered by two AA batteries. I bought it at a local "Dollar Plus" store for $2.00; all I wanted was the fibre optic strands. Cheap!
