Abstract
An illumination system including a plurality of light source modules each including a light-emitting surface and a dome lens, an illumination target and at least one optical device disposed between at least one of the light source modules and the illumination target. Each optical device includes an alignment mechanism engaging the dome lens, and at least one optical element fixed to the alignment mechanism, the optical element having an optical axis. The alignment mechanism is releasably securable between a first position and a second position relative to the dome lens for adjusting the optical device between the first position where the optical axis passes through the light-emitting surface and the illumination target, and second position where the optical axis passes through the light-emitting surface.
