Patent ID: 7677760

Claim:
A light projecting device, comprising: a. a series of at least two stacked LEDs sharing a common optical axis; b. a multibeam collimator surrounding each LED and including at least two identical individual geometrically arranged collimators each of which projects a beam of collimated light such that the plurality of individual collimators projects a plurality of individual collimated beams projected at an angle to the optical axis in a discontinuous radial pattern wherein each multibeam collimator is radially offset from the others; and c. a radial pattern of individual reflectors onto which the individual collimated beams are projected, said reflectors matching the discontinuous radial pattern of individual radial beams and only reflecting light projected from the associated individual collimator, each said individual reflector so positioned as to not obstruct an individual collimated beam projected from a non-associated individual collimator, and disposed such that said discontinuous pattern of projected beams is reflected by said associated pattern of matching reflectors as a continuous composite beam surrounding and projected in the direction of said optical axis.
