Abstract:
1. Apparatus for providing light to a structure, the structure having a plurality of apertures for receiving optical fibers the apparatus comprising: (a) a plurality of optical fibers, each said optical fiber having an emitting end and a receiving end, the emitting ends of the optical fibers for mounting in the plurality of apertures, the receiving ends of the optical fibers for spanning to a housing for receiving a control circuit and a plurality of LEDs; (b) the control circuit for generating an oscillating sequence of signals for controlling the intensity of illumination of at least one of the LED's between at least two positive levels of illumination; and (c) the plurality of LED's arranged such that each LED is juxtaposed adjacent to the receiving end of at least one optical fiber such that the LED's direct light into the receiving end of each said optical fiber connected thereto and such that light from the respective LEDs are directed through the optical fibers and from the emitting ends of the optical fibers.
