  • Publication number: 20140085900
    Abstract: An adjustable light shaping apparatus is disclosed that includes a shaping housing that receives a beam of light from a luminaire and outlines a source shape through which the beam of light emanates to illuminate a target shape. The adjustable light shaping apparatus further includes two or more adjustable paddles movably coupled to the shaping housing, wherein each of the adjustable paddles is independently adjustable and each adjustable paddle has a framing edge. Further, the adjustable paddles may be oriented so that the framing edges intersect the beam of light and collectively illuminate an outline, defined in the present disclosure as a paddle-framed shape. The adjustable light shaping apparatus also includes an iris assembly connected to the shaping housing. The iris assembly includes an expandable and contractible iris that may intersect the beam of light to illuminate an outline, defined in the present disclosure as an iris-framed shape.
