ABSTRACT:
A light outputting device comprises; a containment (14) for housing an element for emitting light (11); at least one axially extending light conducting element (13) having an axial length substantially greater than its width transverse the axis; the light conducting element (13) being aligned axially with the element for emitting light (11) by means of the containment (14) or an extension thereof; the, or each, light conducting element (13) having a light input region such as an end face whereby light generated by the element for emitting light (11) is caused to pass axially into the or each light conducting element (13) by way of its associated light input region. Typically the axial length of the light conducting element (13) is at least three times its width transverse the axis. The containment (14) or an extension thereof serves to locate the element for emitting light (11) closer to the light input region of the, or each, light conducting element (13) than to the major part of the containment (14) remote from the light input region or regions.
