Abstract
Apparatus and method for providing illumination at selected locations includes assembling a fixture for supporting an end of an optical fiber cable in relation to a diffusive or dispersive lens that is installed in a surrounding medium with a portion of the lens protruding therefrom. The protruding portion of the lens may be severed substantially flush with the surrounding medium to provide an optical outlet port for illuminating flux supplied by the optical fiber cable.
