Abstract: The invention comprises a small form-factor solid-state light engine that provides uniform lighting with high efficiency. The invention provides uniform lighting by practically eliminating any “dead spot” produced by conventional light engines. The invention produces light more effectively and thus fewer light engines need to be employed in a given lighting arrangement. The invention is modular, easily accommodating fiber optics of various sizes and shapes with minimal modification to the components of the light engine.

Abstract: A channel letter or light box illumination apparatus wherein the channel letter or light box is illuminated from a luminaire located at some distance from the channel letter or light box, ideally in a location expeditious to servicing replaceable components such as lamps and driver electronics. A light engine includes one or more light ports, with each port capable of conveying light via optical light guides for the purpose of illuminating a portion or entirety of the light box or channel letter. A singular light guide or plurality of light guides enters the side or rear of the channel letter or light box and are coupled to side-lit light guides. The side-lit light guides, which may be bent and formed, convey light and distribute it through out the channel letter or light box.
