1. An ornamental lighting device for radiating condensed light which propagates through a fiber optic cable, comprising:
- a pedestal;
a plurality of optical fibers supported by said pedestal and optically coupled with the fiber optic cable to be supplied with the condensed light;
retainer means for retaining said optical fibers substantially parallel to each other and at a predetermining spacing from each other; and
a pair of light transmitting panels mounted on the pedestal and mounting said retainer means to hold the parallel optical fibers in sandwich array between said light transmitting panels.

Abstract
An ornamental lighting device includes a plurality of optical fibers to which condensed light from a light source is distributed through a fiber optic cable. The optical fibers are arranged parallel to each other and held between a pair of light transmitting panels, which are rigidly mounted on a pedestal. Light propagating through the optical fibers is radiated through the light transmitting panels to the ambience. A plurality of such lighting devices may be arranged side by side and supplied by a common light source.
