A lens, fabricated from a plurality of materials, each having an associated index of refraction, is used to focus and direct light into one or more optical fibers, coupled to the lens and used to collect light and transmit the collected light to an energy converter, a lighting or heating system, or a lighting or heating apparatus. The collected light may be converted to electricity by powering a steam turbine generator, thermal photo-voltaic cells, or the like. The collected light may also by supplied as a centralized light source to reflective lighting fixtures connected by fiber optics.
