Abstract: A configurable light is built around a central gimbal ring which is attached to a support arm. A bezel ring may be used to attach a variety of light beam altering devices to the front of the gimbal ring. The light source is mounted to the opposite side of the gimbal ring.

Abstract: A cold coupling apparatus for receiving light from a source of illumination and transmission to the ends of one or more light-guiding fibers comprises a coupler body having one or more lenses are typically disposed within the coupler body; a compression fitting is engaged with the retention means; a collet is typically disposed within the compression fitting, as are one or more ferrules, and one or more rods, or a slug. The coupler body may be actively cooled, or may have heat sink fins attached to its exterior. A method of cooling a plurality of light-guiding fibers comprises the steps of inserting a plurality of fibers and a corresponding plurality of ferrules, along with a plurality of rods, into a thermally conductive coupler body. Each ferrule is placed over the end of a corresponding fiber, so as to expose the fiber end, and partially cover the fiber jacket. The ferrules are also placed in physical contact with the rods, which are in parallel alignment with the longitudinal axes of the fibers.

Abstract: A cold coupling apparatus for receiving light from a source of illumination and transmission to the ends of one or more light-guiding fibers comprises a coupler body having an exit bore, an inner bore, an entry bore, and body threads, the exit bore and inner bore intersecting to form a lens shelf, and the entry bore and inner bore intersecting to form a fiber shelf; one or more lenses disposed within the exit bore and proximate to the lens shelf; a compression fitting threadedly engaged with the body threads; a collet disposed within the compression fitting; and one or more ferrules, each of the ferrules disposed within the entry bore and proximate to the fiber shelf. A bushing may also be disposed within the compression fitting, and the lenses may be coated to reflect infrared and/or ultraviolet radiation. The coupler body may be actively cooled, or may have heat sink fins attached to its exterior.

Abstract: A modular weather-resistant fiber optic lighting fixture comprises a support tube having a support inner bore for receiving a fiber optic light guide, a lens bore, support threads, and a support head with an encircling support ring; a lens disposed within the lens bore; a hood having a hood inner bore in frictional engagement with the support ring; at least one effect element disposed within the hood inner bore; and a compression assembly comprising a compression ring, a compression collet, and a compression fitting, the compression fitting, ring, and collet formed for receiving the fiber optic light guide, and the compression fitting providing threaded engagement with the support threads. The fixture may also comprise several different fittings for recessed mounting in flat surfaces, or mounting to curved surfaces or stakes.
