An apparatus and method of manufacture is disclosed for a fiber optic lighting
device. The fiber optic lighting device is formed by adhering fiber optic strands
onto a backing material in a radial pattern from a centralized illumination receiving
port within a perimeter of the backing material. The centralized illumination receiving
port of the fiber optic strands is where the illuminating source would transfer
the illuminations into the fiber optic strands. The fiber optic strands can include
a surface finish, which enhances the intensity of the light emitting from the fiber
optic strands. The fiber optic lighting device can provide a non-linear sheared
edge along the entire perimeter of the backing material.
