ABSTRACT:
In one embodiment, the fiber optic lighting system includes a centrally disposed light source and a plurality of fiber optic cables running from that central light source to a respective plurality of remote locations on the boat. The light source is mounted in a first transparent tube having open axial ends. A second transparent tube is concentrically disposed in close proximity to, but spaced from the first transparent tube. The first tube is removably mounted in the second tube. An internally mirrored chamber circumferentially surrounds the first and second tubes. The chamber is sealed at each axial end. The proximal ends of each fiber optic cable extends into the mirrored chamber and is in substantial engagement with the outer surface of the second tube. A light fixture is associated with each distal end of the optic fiber cables. Each light fixture includes a truncated, inverted cone with the distal end of the fiber mounted proximate the truncated vertex thereof. The outer surface of the inverted cone is mirrored. A second mirrored cone is coaxially disposed above the inverted cone. The second cone is held in place by a dome which has a mirrored inner surface. A housing supports the dome and the second cone. The housing includes light transmissive sides extending from the base of the inverted cone to the edge of the dome.
