Patent ID: 7819564

Claim:
A bicycle lighting system for transmitting light from a fixed position on a bicycle to a separate remote reflector positioned on the bicycle, said bicycle lighting system comprising: a lighting assembly adapted to be fixedly secured to the bicycle frame; an electrical energy source electrically coupled to said lighting assembly for providing power to selectively illuminate said lighting assembly; a light conduit extending longitudinally between a first end coupled to said lighting assembly and a second opposite end adjacent the reflector for transferring light emitted from said lighting assembly to the remote reflector; a light receiver coupled between said lighting assembly and said first end of said light conduit for collecting light emitted from said lighting assembly, said light receiver having an internal reflective funnel for collecting and channeling light emitted from said lighting assembly into said light conduit; and a light transmitting lens coupled to said second end of said light conduit for transmitting light to the remote reflector mounted to the bicycle; wherein said lighting assembly includes a first array of at least three light emitting diodes for emitting light along said light conduit to a second array of at least three corresponding light transmitting lenses arranged closely adjacent to each other so that simultaneous diverging light beams from each of said at least three light transmitting lenses overlap light beams from each adjacent light transmitting lens, particularly a light beam from each light transmitting lens having a light transmitting lens on either side thereof, thereby to provide a continuous, uniform, reinforced light beam along said second array.
