Key Features of the Southpaw LED 1000 Light Source
-
Two-Button Control - A simple, intuitive interface keeps operation accessible for any user, allowing instant colour control without disrupting the therapeutic environment or requiring complex programming.

Four Stoppable Colours - The ability to hold on white, red, green, or blue gives facilitators a direct tool for colour-based visual activities and sensory sessions that require a consistent, predictable light.
-
Seven-Colour Cycling - Red, yellow, green, cyan, blue, violet, and white cycle in smooth sequence, providing the gently shifting visual stimulation that fiber optic sensory environments are known for.
-
Three Cycling Speed Options - Choose from slow, medium, or faster transitions to match the sensory needs of the individual, from deeply calming to more energising visual input.

LED Technology - LED output delivers bright, stable colour with lower heat than older light source technologies, contributing to a safer and more reliable sensory room setup.
Fiber optic light within a sensory tunnel serves distinct therapeutic purposes. The glowing strands provide non-intrusive visual input that supports self-regulation, draws attention without overstimulating, and creates a predictable, controllable environment - all key elements of sensory integration practice. For occupational therapists working with vestibular and proprioceptive processing alongside visual input, the tunnel format combined with the LED 1000's precise controls creates a versatile clinical tool.
The Southpaw Fiber Optic Tunnel is used widely in OT clinics, paediatric therapy centres, children's hospitals, school sensory rooms, and home environments across Canada and the US. The LED 1000 is the light source sold separately for that tunnel, and is also compatible with other Southpaw fiber optic products.
