1. A device configured to direct light to illuminate a target area, the device comprising:

  • a movable mirror, wherein the mirror is operatively connected to a bias;

    wherein the bias is mounted to an engine support;

    further wherein the bias is configured to move the mirror with respect to the engine support in an undamped oscillation; and

    a mirror driver configured to move the mirror at a resonant frequency by loading and unloading the bias,wherein the mirror is further configured to project collimated light produced by a light source to form an illumination pattern when the light source is activated and the mirror is moving at the resonant frequency or a harmonic.
