What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · June 9, 2026
A floor-to-ceiling curtain of soft, glowing fibre optic strands — about 1 meter wide and 2.4 meters long — that responds to touch and shifts through colors via a handheld remote. It's designed for sensory rooms and calm-down spaces used by people with autism, sensory processing differences, profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD), or anxiety-related needs who benefit from visual and tactile stimulation they can control at low intensity. The remote lets caregivers or users adjust color and brightness without approaching the fixture itself, which makes it practical for wheelchair users or those with limited mobility. This is a complete standalone installation — light source and power adapter are included — though the optional heavy-duty wall bracket is sold separately and worth considering for permanent installations. The strands are enclosed in protective casing, but this is still primarily a supervised-environment tool; it's not designed for independent home use without appropriate oversight.

What Setup Looks Like
- Out of the box
Plug in the light console using the included adapter and run your hand through the strands — the curtain lights up immediately. - With a guide
- Choose a mounting location (wall, window frame, or doorway) and attach the console bracket — basic tools required.
- Connect the light console and test remote color/brightness controls.
- Full installation including optional heavy-duty bracket takes approximately 30–60 minutes. See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
- With professional help
- An occupational therapist (OT) or sensory room specialist can advise on placement within a broader sensory environment for specific therapeutic goals.
- For PMLD or complex needs settings, an OT may assess how the curtain fits within a sensory diet or treatment plan — typically a single consultation.
