Apparatus for forming an asymmetric illumination beam pattern
First Claim
1. An apparatus for forming an asymmetric beam pattern for illumination generated by one or more light-emitting elements, said apparatus comprising:
- a) a first optical element optically connected with each of the one or more light-emitting elements, said first optical element manipulating the illumination in a first direction;
b) a second optical element optically connected with one or more predetermined light-emitting elements selected from the one or more light-emitting elements, said second optical element for manipulating the illumination created by the one or more predetermined light-emitting elements in a second direction;
thereby forming an asymmetric illumination beam pattern.

Abstract
The present invention provides an apparatus for forming an asymmetric illumination beam pattern that can be advantageous when illuminating channel letters in addition to enabling the creation of cove lighting, as well as other applications benefiting from asymmetric illumination patterns. The apparatus comprises one or more light-emitting elements for creating the illumination. A first optical element is operatively associated with each of the light-emitting elements and provides a means for manipulating the illumination in a first direction. A second optical element is operatively associated with predetermined light-emitting elements and provides a means for manipulating the illumination in a second direction. Upon the interaction of the illumination with both the first and second optical elements, the illumination being created can have an asymmetric beam pattern.
