Abstract: An outdoor lighting device and method for achieving the same, the device including: (a) a light source; (b) a concentrator including only a first solid optical medium (SOM), the concentrator having an input surface optically coupled to the light source, a side surface and an output surface; and (c) a transparent cover optically coupled to the output surface, and covering substantially all of the output surface, wherein the side surface is shaped so as to provide a desired luminous intensity profile emerging from the transparent cover, and wherein a continuity from the light source to the transparent cover is uninterrupted by an air gap.
