Product description from their website:
Watch the cables of the Science Museum Fibre Optic Lamp refract and reflect the auroral lights. Each of the tips of the fibre optic strands is lit with a piercing colour changing LED light, on an ice-effect colour changing base.
Part of the Science Museum innovative lighting range.
The science behind it: a fibre optic lamp is typically composed of a bulb and several light transmitting filaments, known as optical fibres, which can be made of glass or plastic. The light is kept in the core of the filaments by the phenomenon of total internal reflection, which causes the fibre to act as a waveguide in the same manner.
