Illumination assembly
First Claim
1. An assembly for providing illumination to an incident area comprising:
- (a) a support;
(b) a first illumination device coupled to the support, the first illumination device including a first light emitting device and a first lens positioned for focusing light emitted by said first light emitting device;
(c) a second illumination device coupled to the support, the second illumination device including a second light emitting device and a second lens positioned for focusing light emitted by said second light emitting device;
(d) the first and second lenses projecting defocused images of the respective first and second light emitting devices to the incident area.
