ABSTRACT:
A fiber optic bundle assembly with removable and replaceable light guides. The assembly includes a focused light source and a plurality of light guides held in a light bundle support member. Each receiving end of each light guide is formed in a hexagonal shape with each of the receiving ends being of the same size so that a bundle of receiving ends may be assembled with essentially no air space between adjacent light guides. One or more light guides may be removed and replaced with a hexagonal plug of the same size as the receiving ends.
