Since fiber optics is made of a flexible material, usually a very dense plastic, it can be molded into many shapes and still be called a fiber optic lamp. Although the brightness of the light emitted depends on the curve of the material, the wider the curve the more light.

So of course now he has a small fiber optic lamp in his room that he will fall asleep to.
