Abstract
A lighting device includes a series of optical waveguides, each optical waveguide being adapted to guide light rays between an entry face and an exit face, the optical waveguides being formed of a first subassembly and a second subassembly produced separately and each including a portion of the series of optical waveguides and including structural elements to retain the optical waveguides in position. The first subassembly and the second subassembly are adapted to be assembled to form the lighting device by cooperation of the structural elements, and the first subassembly includes a first structural element adapted to connect proximal ends of the optical waveguides and a second structural element distinct from the first structural element and adapted to connect distal ends of the optical waveguides.
