Abstract
An irradiation device for generating light beams at variable beam angles, comprises a housing assembly including a longitudinal shell with a first end and a second end, a first end cap assembly provided at the first end, and a second end cap assembly provided at the second end, wherein the first end cap assembly and the second end cap assembly are capable of rotating either individually or in combination, a radiation source configured to emit electromagnetic radiation towards a target region, a deformable optic, the deformable optic including a first side oriented towards the radiation source and a second side oriented towards the target region, and a deformation mechanism adapted to cause a predetermined deformation of the deformable optic. The deformation mechanism includes a first plate and a second plate in contact with the deformable optic.
