ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a lighting system including a centralized light source, a plurality of light emitters, and a plurality of fiber optic lines extending between the light source and the light emitters for delivering light therebetween. More particularly, the present invention includes a light source operably coupled to a concentrator for directing light generated by the light source towards an exit end of the concentrator. A fiber optic bundle is secured at its proximal end to the exit end of the concentrator for receiving the light generated by the light source therein. A plurality of sub-bundles diverge from the fiber optic bundle and transport the light from the light generator to a plurality of emitters. The emitters are disposed at various locations of desired illumination and emit the delivered light therefrom.
