ABSTRACT:
A lighting system for reflectively surfaced overhead highway signs includes a light source remote from the reflective sheeting surface of the signs. Fiber optics conduct light from the light source to a position in front of the reflective surface. Brackets mount to panel mounting posts of the signs and support the ends of optical fibers to direct light for optimal lighting of the reflective surface. A focusing lens may be positioned at the end of the optical fiber for narrowing the light beam for narrower lighting of the sign.
