Abstract
A remotely illuminated lighting system (10) incorporates a lighting system sequencer (18) for providing a sequenced distribution of light signals to a plurality of light distribution devices (108, 208, 210 and 212). An illumination source (12) provides focused light signals (44, 46) to the lighting system sequencer (18). The lighting system sequencer (18) includes an optical scanner (22) and an electronic control (24) for selectively directing the light signals (44, 46) to individual optical fibers (20) of a fiber-optic distribution system. The optical fibers (20) couple the light signals to the luminaires (108, 208, 210 and 212), which sequentially illuminate in accordance with a desired pattern.
