A luminaire system is provided that has directional light projection optics combined with a light distribution modifier to produce a non-uniform angular light intensity distribution from a single or array of light sources. The luminaire system provides for light intensity distribution with directional asymmetry meeting the specifications and requirements of aviation obstruction lights. The light distribution modifier component or subassembly redirects, scatters, refracts, diffracts and/or blocks part of the projection light in the distribution of the primary optics that would otherwise produce ground scatter. Unlike peripheral light shields at the marginal limits of the light distribution from the luminaire light system, the light distribution modifier is located near to the optical axis of the projection optics system.

An optical structure for controlling distribution of light generated by a light source is described. The optical structure includes a primary optics disposed relative to the light source and configured to reflect light generated by the light source towards a target region. The optical structure also includes a secondary optics disposed and aligned relative to the primary optics. The secondary optics is configured to at least partially block light generated by the light source from illuminating a region outside the target region.

Embodiments of the present invention relate to a lighting apparatus which allows a three dimensional effect to be felt while surface light is emitted in a light source using a half-mirror member configured to reflect and transmit some light. Particularly, the present invention employs a half-mirror member configured to transmit some light emitted from a light source module configured to emit surface light and reflect the remaining light to implement an image like that reflected by a mirror when the lighting apparatus is off and a light image through which various three-dimensional images are felt when the lighting apparatus is on.

The invention provides a lighting system (1000) comprising a light source (10), configured to provide light source light (11), a first reflective element (210), a second reflective element (220), and a lens (240), wherein:the first reflective element (210) tapers from a first end (211) to a second end (212), wherein the first reflective element (210) comprises a first reflective surface (213) bridging the distance between the first end (211) and the second end (212), wherein the first reflective surface (213) is diffuse reflective, and wherein the light source (10) is at least partially circumferentially surrounded by the first reflective surface (213);the light source (10) is configured closer to the second end (212) than to the first end (211), and wherein the light source (10) is configured to direct at least part of the light source light (11) in the direction of the first end (211);the lens (240) is configured to beam shape at least part of the light source light (11) emanating from the reflective element (210) and the light source (10); andthe second reflective element (220) is configured to redirect part of the light source light (11) to the lens (240), wherein the second reflective element is configured to specularly reflect at least part of the light source light (11) that reaches the second reflective element (220).

The invention relates to an illumination system converting light beams into wide-angle light transmissions. It includes i) a cylindrical member having a cone-shaped depression in a distal end; and ii) a semi-circular member having an inner radial surface adjacent to a sidewall of the cylindrical member; and angled upper and lower annular surfaces extending from the cylindrical member and meeting at an outer radial edge. A light beam entering the proximal end of the cylindrical member strikes a first edge of the cone-shaped depression and is reflected out as a first light transmission; or it strikes a second edge of the cone-shaped depression, is reflected against the upper and lower annular surfaces, and exits the cylindrical member as a second light transmission parallel to the first diffused light transmission. At least one light path passes through a diffuser on the cylindrical member.
