Eclipse star ceiling panel
The Eclipse star disk, with 200 mixed diameter fibres for a natural starry sky effect, will make a dramatic feature in any situation. Designed, developed, and manufactured in Starscapes’ Northumberland workshops, the Eclipse star ceiling is available to order today.
This Eclipse is shown with the optional LED package that creates a glow around the rim. These LEDs are available in cool white, warm white and blue and RGB colour changing options.
We call it the Eclipse, since when it’s supplied with the optional LED rim lighting it’s reminiscent of the fully-eclipsed sun.

Also visible is fibre optic "tail" with common end ferrule connected to the light source, the LED DMX decoder and the power supply for the decoder and the remote controller. The components other than the remote are usually located in the ceiling void above the disk.

Installation
Installing the Eclipse star ceiling panel is easy, whether you have working space above the ceiling or not. Here are a couple of options:
If you have access to the space above the display then the Aurora can be mounted directly to the ceiling. Simply cut a hole in the ceiling large enough for the fibre optic bundle or ‘tail’. Have your electrician provide a switched socket for the LED power supply close to the hole.
The Aurora can be secured to the ceiling by screwing directly through the face and then disguising the screw heads with caps, the same colour as the panel finish.
Alternatively, and a neater solution would be to use ButtonFix. This simple system utilises button mounts on the ceiling which locate securely into carriers on the star ceiling frame.

This drawing shows a typical star panel installation where access above the ceiling is available. The Galaxy, Aurora, and Horizon star ceiling panels are similarly mounted.

If you have a ceiling with no access above then we can supply the Aurora with rods or wire hangers. The space created above the ceiling will have enough room to mount the light source. All that is needed is an electrical supply.
Whatever your ceiling construction and access opportunities, our skilled team will always try and offer you the easiest and most cost-effective solution.
Eclipse Star Disk with the LED tape at full intensity.
The star disk shown above was supplied per-printed by our customer. Starscape provided the fibre optic stars.
There is a choice of LED light sources supplied with the Eclipse.
The MiniLED550 has colour changing or twinkle effects, remote control and dimming.
The MiniLED750 has remote control, colour changing and twinkle effects at the same time, dimming and is DMX compatible, so can be connected to a stand alone controller for precise colour mixing.
This light source is also compatible with home automation systems that can incorporate a DMX output module.
We also offer a LED rim lighting package which includes the LED tape fixed to the top (hidden side) of the disk, the LED power supply and a remote control dimmer (with RGB tape only).
For hospitals and nursing homes an Acrylic rim upstand can be added to seal the disk against the ceiling for infection control.
