Abstract

In one aspect, an illumination source includes a socket formed by the union of a sub-assembly platform and a light-guide element, and a discrete light source received in the socket. In another aspect, the light-guide element includes a concentration region proximate an in-coupling region opposite an out-coupling region, the concentration region directing multidirectional light from the in-coupling region toward the out-coupling region.
