Patent ID: 8632234

Claim:
A ground directed pathway light, comprising: a horizontal mount having a downwardly facing front planar surface with a width and a length and a midportion therebetween, and a perimeter edge about the planar surface of the mount, the mount having an upwardly facing rear surface on an opposite side of the mount; an LED (light emitting diode) positioned adjacent to and attached to a midportion of the downwardly facing front planar surface of the mount; an optical fiber having a ring shape circumferentially about the LED light source, the optical fiber being attached to the downwardly facing front planar surface of the mount; a ground based engaging post having an upper end and a lower end, the upper end attached to the light, and the lower end of the post extending downward from a midportion of the downwardly facing front planar surface of the mount, the lower end of the post adapted for engagement into a ground surface; and a power source for providing power to simultaneously illuminate the LED and optical fiber which directs light toward the ground surface, wherein uniform light emissions without undesirable shadow effects are emitted from the LED and ring shaped optical fiber in approximately 360 degree directions toward the ground surface around the post.
