Abstract
A light assembly that acts as a light source multiplier. The light assembly includes a light guide having a light source side and an emitting side with a center portion between the light source side and the emitting side. Both the light source side and the emitting side have a truncated sawtooth shape. The light source side has a plurality of truncated portions and a plurality of apex portions between each truncated portion, with one or more of the apex portions ending in the center portion of the light guide. In some implementations, a number of light guide segments are oriented in a lattice configuration.
