Patent ID: 8727573

Claim:
A lighting system comprising: a first reflective surface that extends about an axis; a second reflective surface that extends about the axis; a ring-shaped aperture formed between the first reflective surface and the second reflective surface; at least one light emitting diode disposed along the axis, facing the second reflective surface; and a refractive surface extending about the axis adjacent the at least one light emitting diode, wherein the first reflective surface and the second reflective surface are arranged so that the second reflective surface directs first incident light to the first reflective surface, and the first reflective surface directs the first incident light to exit the lighting system through the ring-shaped aperture, and wherein the refractive surface directs second incident light to the first reflective surface, and the first reflective surface directs the second incident light to exit the lighting system through the ring-shaped aperture.
