Abstract:
A centralized lighting system comprising:a source of high intensity light which generates light output in a predetermined beam pattern;a reflector member disposed adjacent said light source, said reflector member shaped in a curved manner and having a first optical focal point and a second optical focal point associated therewith, said light source disposed approximately at said first optical focal point;a mirror member disposed between said first optical focal point and said second optical focal point associated with said reflector member, said mirror member receiving said light output and constructed so as to divide said light output into at least a first and a second beam portion, said first and second beam portions substantially similarly shaped to each other and to the beam pattern of said light source, said mirror member further separating said at least first and second beam portions by at least 90 degrees relative to one another; andfirst and second optical transmission members receiving said first and second beam portions, respectively, and effective so as to communicate said light output to separate locations remote from said light source, said first and second optical transmission members positioned at least 90 degrees apart from each other, one of said first and second optical transmission members located at the second optical focal point.
