Claim 8:
9. A light control system, comprising:
a housing;
a controllable power source configured to supply a plurality of separate and individual voltages;
a light source coupled to the housing and operable, upon being electrically energized, to emit a light beam; and
at least seven hexagonal-shaped tunable optics coupled to the housing and arranged such that one of the hexagonal-shaped tunable optics is surrounded by six other hexagonal-shaped tunable optics and such that there are no gaps between adjacent hexagonal-shaped tunable optics, each hexagonal-shaped tunable optic disposed to receive at least a portion of the light beam emitted from the light source, each hexagonal-shaped tunable optic having tunable lens characteristics and tunable light deflection characteristics, each hexagonal-shaped tunable optic further coupled to receive six separate and individual voltages from the controllable power source, each hexagonal-shaped tunable optic comprising a liquid that varies the tunable lens characteristics and tunable light deflection characteristics in response to the six voltages supplied thereto, whereby light beam pattern and light beam steering are achieved.
