ABSTRACT:
A lighting apparatus for illumination of a surface. The disclosed embodiment includes a source of light, a reflector with the source of light at its focus point, a lens for concentrating light from the source to an area to be illuminated, and a motor. The motor rotates the source of light, the reflector and the lens at a rate of at least ten cycles per second, thereby moving the illuminated area along a path at the same rate. As the illuminated area is moved along the path at this rate, successive portions of the path, each portion being equal in area to the illuminated area, will be illuminated one by one. The rate of movement of the illuminated area along the path is faster than the human eye's ability to integrate the discontinuities of the individual illuminated areas and thus the entire path has the appearance of being illuminated simultaneously.
