ABSTRACT:
A fiber optic aimable spotlight luminaire includes a generally cylindrical tubular housing having a proximal end, a distal end and an optical axis therethrough. A fiber optics light guide light has a first end receiving light from a remote source of illumination and a second, light-emitting end on the optical axis in the proximal end of the housing. An optical element on the optical axis of the housing has a focus generally at the second end of the fiber optics light guide, whereby light emitted by the light guide forms a generally collimated beam of light from the optical element. The position of the light guide within the housing is axially adjustable to de-collimate and zoom the beam. A rotatable and bendable bracket supports a mirror at the distal end of the housing with the mirror oriented at an angle whereby the collimated beam of light is reflected off aids as a transverse beam of light at an angle to the optical axis of the lens. In a preferred embodiment the housing is externally threaded and is retained in a planar panel by nuts engaging the threaded exterior of the housing and compressively engaging with the panel.
