ABSTRACT:
A time-sharing light distribution apparatus steers optical energy conducted thereto from a single source of optical energy supply to a plurality of remote locations or directly to the ambience. A light conducting rod receiving the optical energy at one end thereof includes an inclined surface for reflecting the optical energy to the ambience or to branch light conduction paths. A motor or like drive causes the light conducting rod to pivot or rotate about an axis thereof, thereby distributing the optical energy for desired applications such as photosynthesis.
