The Illuminator Behind
Every Starfield Ceiling.
A compact 18W light engine with a rotating twinkling wheel, app and remote control, driving up to 600 fiber strands from a single connection — sized for ceilings in the 400–500 point range.
Fiber optic cable is passive — every point of light in a star ceiling originates from a single illuminator sitting outside the ceiling void. The Nucleo NLE-18 is the entry point into that system: an 18W LED source behind a rotating twinkling wheel, projecting light into up to 600 strands of 0.75mm fiber through a 16mm aperture. It is sized for the majority of residential and small commercial star ceilings, in the 400 to 500 point range.
Twinkling speed — and colour, on RGBW units — can be adjusted from a phone or a dedicated remote, whichever suits the installation.
Bluetooth App
Adjust twinkling speed and colour from a smartphone within Bluetooth range of the illuminator.
2.4G RF Remote
A dedicated handheld remote for direct control without needing a phone or app open.
Twinkling Wheel
A rotating filter disc varies colour and intensity as it spins, creating the signature shimmer effect.
A focused feature set built specifically around driving fiber optic point installations reliably.
Single Colour / RGBW LED Source
Available configured for a fixed white starfield or a full RGBW colour-changing effect.
Twinkling Wheel
A rotating coloured filter disc produces the characteristic shimmering star effect rather than static points.
18W Output
Sufficient output to evenly light up to 600 strands of 0.75mm fiber from a single illuminator body.
12V / 220V Input
Flexible input configuration to suit different installation and power supply arrangements.
Bluetooth App Support
Control twinkling speed and colour directly from a smartphone app.
2.4G RF Remote Included
A dedicated remote for direct control without relying on a paired device.
