Sensory Equipment Information

The fibre optic side glow is one of the most popular pieces of sensory equipment, it works well with all our other sensory equipment by offering a stunning visual effect with also a mesmerising tactile effect. The long strands are brightly powered and are great for laying on the user’s lap but more importantly, they work well wherever they are placed within the sensory room.

The Interactive LED Lightsource adds extrasensory activity by way of controllers. You can choose between using a Sensory Remote Control or Dice Remote Control to control the colour of the LEDs on the strands of the LED Lightsource.

Using these remote controls gives the user the benefit of colour recognition as they develop visual sensory learning. Alternative switches can be used by using the 3.5mm jack port on the Sensory Remote Control giving those with preferred switch access the ability to interact with the Lightsource.

The remotes are completely wireless and are therefore ideal for users in wheelchairs. The Interactive LED Lightsource can be placed within soft play or tucked away to save on space.

The Interactive LED Lightsource has the option of having two different sensory remote controls. You can choose between using a Mega Buttons Controller or Cube Remote Control to control the colour of the LEDs on the strands of the Lightsource.
