Claim 0:
1. An apparatus for emitting light comprising multiple segments arranged in a plane, each segment comprising:
an array of light sources arranged in a first plane;
a network of electrical connections and heat-spreading elements connected to the light sources;
and one or more segments each further comprising:
an array of focusing elements in a second plane substantially parallel to the first plane, the array of focusing elements being aligned with and spaced from the array of light sources, wherein each focusing element of the array of focusing elements is aligned with and spaced apart from at least a corresponding one of the light sources of the array of light sources, and each focusing element emits a corresponding collimated beam of light; and
an adjuster configured to at least alter, over a range of positions, an in-plane position of the array of focusing elements with respect to the array of light sources, the adjuster thereby enabling control of an overall light beam emitted by the segment.
