Patent ID: 7489845

Claim:
A fiber optic light device comprising: a base portion, where the base portion is cylindrical in shape, a light portion, where the light portion is attached to the base portion, where the light portion comprises a plurality of fiber optics, where the plurality of fiber optics comprise a plurality of short fiber optics and a plurality of long fiber optics, where the plurality of short fiber optics surround the plurality of long fiber optics, where the short fiber optics provide lateral support to the plurality of long fiber optics, where the plurality of short fiber optics are shorter than the plurality of long fiber optics, where the short fiber optics are the only means of lateral support for the plurality of long fiber optics, a light source, where the light source comprises an LED, where the LED emits light when powered, where the LED transfers light to the plurality of fiber optics when the LED emits light, a support portion, where the support portion is connected to the base portion, where the support portion comprises a plurality of members, where the support portion supports the fiber optic light device, and a means for power transmission, where the means for power transmission comprises an adapter and a power cord, where the adapter is connected to the fiber optic light by the power cord, where each of the plurality of fiber optics has two ends, where one end is proximate to the light source, and where the other end has a tip region that has been modified, where the modified tip region comprises a groove located therein.
