Abstract:
An example lighting device includes a plurality of individually controllable illumination light sources configured to be driven by electrical power to emit light. The lighting device further includes an optical lens positioned over the illumination light sources for beam shaping or steering. The optical lens has a plurality of aspherical, spherical, planar, or freeform surfaces, including an input surface coupled to receive light from the illumination light sources and an output surface. The input surface includes an input peripheral portion and an input central portion. The input peripheral portion extends from the illumination light sources and includes a plurality of input peripheral segments that are discontinuous and in aggregate curve from a first region of the input surface near the illumination light sources to a second region of the input surface near the input central portion.

Claim (Index 4):
The lighting device of  claim 1 , wherein:\n incoming light rays for illumination lighting emitted by at least one of the illumination light sources first pass through the input peripheral segments or the input central segments where the incoming light rays undergo refraction to shape or steer the illumination lighting; after passing through the input peripheral segments, a first subset of the refracted incoming light rays then strike the output lateral portion where the first subset of refracted incoming light rays undergo total internal reflection (TIR) to further shape or steer the illumination lighting; after striking the output lateral portion, the first subset of TIR reflected light rays pass through the output shoulder portion and undergo further refraction; and after passing through the input central segments, a second subset of the refracted incoming light rays then strike the output body segments where the second subset of refracted incoming light rays undergo further refraction.
