Foci and Lightbeam from the Lightbar linear fibre optic range were used in most of the museum display cabinets, a total of eleven. The EFO projector was used throughout.

The Museum tells the story of the people who have lived and worked in this part of south Essex from the earliest inhabitants to the present. Based in historic Waltham Abbey, in a building dating back to 1520, the Museum first opened in 1981and the collections have grown steadily ever since.
