Patent ID: 7758210

Claim:
A light-emitting diode (LED) optic, comprising: a light-transmitting element having a plurality of segments, each segment having an optical axis and a linear extrusion axis and comprising a cross-section that is projected along a portion of the linear extrusion axis; and for each segment, at least one LED positioned such that a central light-emitting axis of the at least one LED is angled at about 0° relative to the optical axis associated with that segment, wherein a light emitted by the at least one LED has a beam spread of approximately 3 degrees, wherein the beam spread is approximately 1.5 degrees on either side of a plane containing the optical axis, wherein a plurality of the linear extrusion axes associated with the plurality of segments is angled relative to each other such that light from said plurality of segments is emitted outward over a 360° angular distribution from a central axis of the LED optic.
