Abstract: A high illumination level lighting system. The system comprises a light source module and a lighthead. The light source module is remote from the lighthead. An elongated light piping member has a first end in said light source module and a second end adjacent said light head. Light energy from the light source module is transported by the light piping member to the lighthead which collects the light energy from the second end of the light piping member, controls it and directs it in a desired pattern onto a site to be illuminated. A support assembly is provided for the light head. The support assembly may hold the light head in fixed position, or it may be adjustable so as to hold the light head in adjusted positions. The light source module may be provided with filter elements to eliminate unwanted wave lengths, heat, and to provide color temperature control.
