Central source light distribution system and components for maintaining beam continuity to adjustably positionable remote illumination directors

摘要

A light distribution system for distributing beams at remote locations, light beams from a quasi point source includes means for collimating light from the source into a radial beam or beams, conveyance means carrying collimated beams to remote illumination directors for directing light from the light distribution system to a volume to be illuminated. Light loss due to changing the system from a first configuration, i.e. set of spatial location spatial locations of illumination directors, to a second configuration is substantially eliminated. Means are provided to manipulate light beams to control their diversion and continuity in response to movements from changing from the first configuration to the second.
