Abstract: An extremely lightweight, high-intensity illumination device utilizing polymer optical fibers to transmit light from a remote light source, and having a head-supported frame of the eyeglass type, in which the fibers are terminated in two or more bundles to provide a converging light pattern with minimal shadow effects. The remote light source employs a combination of dielectric mirrors and a heat-resistant glass rod to filter substantially all heat-producing infrared radiation from the light emitted by the source.
