iSky Guide: How to become a Star Ceiling Expert

Welcome to our iSky Guide, the one-stop spot with everything you ever wanted to
know about the benefits of iSky Panel Systems.

To help you become a certified star ceiling expert, this guide includes:
• iSky Dictionary
• Sales Sheet information on iSky Panel benefits
• Specifications on iSky Panel System components
• How to Estimate Your Job
• How to Install iSky Panels an overview
• Ideas on Designing with flexible iSky solutions

Before we jump into all the “how to” material, we’ll start your iSky Guided Tour with a quick
overview of the benefits of iSky Panel Systems.

First, our system is LED driven, and comes with our patent-pending Star Engine. The advan-
tages?

• A low voltage light source for low power consumption and little heat
• All digital, solid state driver that’s very efficient, with no moving parts,
and high vibration capacity
• Lighting that has ultra long life and no uv/ir radiation

Second, our specifications are designed for easy installation and efficient and accurate
job estimation.

Above all, our systems are high-quality – in acoustic materials, construction, technology,
and overall design.

That’s why experts pick iSky Panel Systems. And you look like an expert to us. So, enjoy
the guide. And call or email us with any questions or suggestions.

Big Bang Effects Without Big Banging
iSky star ceilings are easy to install. No more banging nails or forcing fiber through dry wall.

Our plug-and-play Panel Systems make estimation easy as well, bringing high-end star ceilings
within reach for home theaters and other environments.

With premium acoustic materials and our exclusive LED technology, iSky offers the best quality
for the best value. And as a result of the patent-pending Star Engine, our lighting effects mimic
the random glimmer of the night sky unlike any system on the market.

The creators of iSky Panel Systems, Fiberoptic Studio Corp., have been designing custom fiber-
optics and premium LED lighting solutions for clients like Motorola, McDonald’s and General Mo-
tors for over 20 years. So they know what works best for consumers and installers.

Surface Mount Worksheet
Use this worksheet to help calculate quantities of Surface Mount Panels which can be installed
on any ﬁnished surface.

As an option, you can add uRay lighting to the panel’s edges to create additional depth and
drama. Just leave at least a 2” space between the panel and wall if you are adding uRay
