Patent ID: 7810942

Claim:
A sanitary fitting including an assembly of several light sources for illuminating water that flows out of or into the sanitary fitting, whereby light of different colours can be generated by the said light sources, the sanitary fitting comprising a collecting optics arranged in front of the light sources, for focusing and mixing the light generated by the light sources, wherein the collecting optics comprises a plurality of optical elements having a collecting action, in which at least one of the optical elements is reversibly uniquely associated with each light source, and further wherein the focusing as well as the mixing of the light generated by the light sources are provided by the optical elements; wherein the light sources generate light beams that are at least substantially rotationally symmetrical with respect to a radiation axis associated with the respective light source; wherein the radiation axes of the light sources run parallel to one another; and wherein at least one light source is arranged in such a way with respect to the optical element associated with it that the radiation axis of the at least one light source runs parallel and staggered by a distance (d) with respect to the axis of symmetry of the associated optical element.
