EDGE-LIT FLAT PANEL REPETITIVE LIGHTING FIXTURE.

摘要

A repetitive lighting fixture (20) will alternate between at least two different illuminated images projected in a desired direction. The fixture includes edge-lit flat panels (31, 32, 33) that are configured and/or overlayed to reproduce one or more desired images. Each panel is made of light-transmissive material, which optionally may contain colorant. Each edge-lit flat panel (31, 32, 33) contains optics (50) coupled with a second planar surface of the panel. The optics (50) are arranged to define a desired shape of an image and are configured so as to cause light distributed within the panel to exit a first planar surface of the panel. Each panel has its own light source (40) that projects light into a light transmitting edge of the panel. The panel's light source (40) can include light emitting diodes (LED) that only or selectively illuminate the specific optics of that panel.
