Fiber Optic Tails with Sparkle LED Light Source
Description
These stunning fiber optic tails emit soft, slowly changing colors all the way down each flexible plastic strand, creating a mesmerizing sensory experience that is truly hard to walk away from. Designed with sensory rooms, therapeutic environments, and special needs users in mind, each strand is cool to the touch and carries no electricity - making them completely safe for close, hands-on interaction. The tails are deeply tactile and visually captivating, encouraging engagement, calmness, and even social connection as wearers invite others into their space to admire the glowing strands. They can be worn like jewelry around the neck or draped across the lap for proprioceptive weight input, making them as therapeutic as they are spectacular.
Included with every set is a long-lasting LED light source that cycles through 16 colors with a dazzling sparkle effect. The built-in wireless receiver opens the door to optional color control via a separately purchased Wireless Controller or MSE Genie Bluetooth system. Made in England to a high standard of quality, these fiber optic tails are easy to disinfect and built to last for years of daily use.

FAQ
Are the fiber optic strands safe to touch and wear?
Yes - the strands are completely safe for direct contact. They do not carry any electricity and do not generate heat, so users can wear them around the neck, hold them, or drape them across their lap without any risk of burns or shock. This makes them especially well-suited for sensory-sensitive individuals who like to get up close.
What tail count should I choose?
The 100-tail option is the easiest to manage and un-tangle, making it great for individual users or settings where quick setup is important. The 200-tail option is the most popular choice, offering a fuller and more visually spectacular display while still being manageable for most environments. If you serve a large number of users at once, consider that more tails can become tangled with heavy group use.
Does the LED light source come included?
Yes, the LED light source is included with every purchase. It cycles through 16 colors with a sparkle effect automatically. It is rated for approximately 50,000 hours of use, runs quietly, and does not get hot.
Can I control which color the tails display?
Yes, with an optional accessory. The included LED light source has a built-in wireless receiver. By purchasing either the 4-Button Wireless Color Controller (9CTBT) or the MSE Genie Bluetooth Receiver (9RGRX) separately, users can select specific colors. The Genie system works via a free app on iPad or iPhone using Bluetooth, which is great for users who benefit from independent environment control.
How do I clean the fiber optic strands?
All strands can be wiped down with a standard household cleaner. This makes them practical for shared sensory rooms, classrooms, and care facilities where hygiene and regular disinfection are important.
Where are these fiber optic tails made?
These fiber optic tails are made in England and are designed to meet the quality and safety standards expected in professional therapeutic and special needs environments.
