<p>A modular fiber optic illumination system (10) which includes an independent light source or lamp (12), an optical fiber light transmission media (14) such as an optical fiber bundle, a port (15) for receiving and supporting the light transmission media (14) and a combination light conducting and heat insulating coupler (16) which is aligned between the light source (12) and the optical fiber light transmission port (15) for transmitting light projected from the light source (12) to the distal end of the optical fiber transmission media (14). The coupler housing contains multiple spaced lenses (21, 22) and is sealed from the elements and is independent of the lamp to provide a truly modular illumination system which also prevents the distal end of the light transmission media (14) from experiencing burn-out. If the illumination system requires a ballast or transformer, it also is independently housed from the lamp.</p> |
