Fibre optic lights in shower room

[McBreadhead]

About to tender 2 projects (1 bathroom and 1 shower room) and contemplating fibre optics in the shower room. Would ideally like chromatic system so can adjust colour to suit mood and looking at fibres positioned as a grid in shower wall.

 

However I am unsure about:

 

a) the bend radius of fibre and assume it will have to feed from behind thru stud wall or can you just run it directly behind wall tiles? I guess former will require new wall while latter will retain it.

 

b) concerned lots of little holes in tile grout will eventually lead to leaks - is this to be expected or can it be mitigated?

 

c) no idea about cost

 

Anyone out there have experience of such?

McB,

 

I'm working on a project at the moment with Crescent Lighting using colour change LEDs to backlight a large facade & I know they also do colour change fibre optic too (see linky below).

If you're interested I have a meeting with one of their guys in my office first thing on Wednesday, blat mail me all your queries and I'll get some responses for you.
