ABSTRACT:
A device for coupling light from a light source to one or more light pipes is described. The device allows for direction of light from a single source through multiple light pipes with minimal loss of light. The device also minimizes heating of the light pipes and provides for an even light intensity distribution over several light pipe surfaces. Potential applications include automotive lighting and interior lighting.
