Patent ID: 7152996

Claim:
A lighting system for stage, theatrical and architectural lighting, comprising: frame means defining a longitudinal axis and an open end at one axial end and a predetermined dimension along said longitudinal axis between said open end and another axial end said frame means defining a mounting surface for supporting a plurality of light emitting diodes, said frame means including a substantially rigid mounting template for providing a substantially fixed hollow volume defining a focal point substantially along said longitudinal axis said open end defining a dimension transverse to said longitudinal axis which is less than said predetermined longitudinal dimension; means for mounting at least one diode of said plurality of diodes within said hollow volume of said frame means and simultaneously for positioning said plurality of diodes wherein at least one discrete diode is oriented to emit a light beam skewed to a normal direction of said mounting surface of said mounting template and directed to a predetermined illumination area generally along said longitudinal axis beyond said focal point, and circuit board means structurally associated with same frame means for transmitting and controlling electrical voltage to said plurality of light emitting diodes.
