<p>A light guide system is disclosed in which one or more light sources are embedded within the body of the light guide. The light sources emit light into the light guide. Light entering the light sources from outside is either reflected back or is allowed to pass through. In an embodiment, a light guide with light deflecting particles within it is used. The concentration of the light deflecting particles within the light guide can be varied based on the location of the embedded light sources in order to obtain a desired light emanation pattern. In an embodiment, external light sources can be used to increase the amount of light and mirrors can be used to reduce wastage and increase the amount of light. Finally, by building the light guide system in a modular form, multiple light guide modules can be combined to get a light source of desired specifications.</p> |
