ABSTRACT:
A fiber optic light source module (FOLSM) of a hybrid fiber optic lighting distribution system for distributing light from the FOLSM to various lighting features. The FOLSM includes a base, a lamp holder connected to a forward portion of the base and an access cover connected to a rearward portion of the base independent of the lamp holder. The base has a lamp cavity, a communicating lower rod support and an electrical lead port. The lamp holder has a front cover for covering the lamp cavity, an upper rod support and an annular lamp support member for interfacing with a lamp having a concave mirror. The upper and lower rod supports collectively form a rod support, wherein a square cross-sectioned light transmission connecting rod is seated therein via a resilient grommet. Accordingly, because the lamp support member is integral with the upper rod support, when the concave mirror is seated at the lamp support member the lamp is automatically aligned with respect to the light transmission connecting rod.
