Patent ID: 8556452

Claim:
A light modifier for an LED producing light about a central axis, the light modifier comprising: a lens defining an indentation to produce total internal reflection (TIR), the indentation angled relative to the central axis by an amount less than a complementary angle of a critical angle of the lens along the indentation such that light produced by the LED is at least substantially internally reflected by the indentation to pass through a light transmitting portion of the lens directly bordering an outer edge of the indentation to form a line of light, wherein: the indentation is angled between approximately 15 and 25 degrees relative to the central axis such that two lines of light are formed along a length of the indentation when the LED produces the light and the light is reflected to pass through the light transmitting portion of the lens; and the indentation includes two sidewalls forming a V-shape, each sidewall having one of the two lines of light formed along its outer edge.
