A lighting assembly includes a quasi-point lamp, a ring lens at least
partially surrounding the source to provide a radial beam of light shaped
in the form of a disk of sectionally diverging light, and at least one
refracting ring to redirect and/or change the beam divergence, and/or at
least one reflecting ring to redirect or change the divergence of the
beam. A baffle system may be used in conjunction with or in substitution
for the refractor or reflector rings to eliminate glare and stray light
from the lens or redirect and/or change divergence of the lens. The ring
lens surrounding the quasi-point source may be used to divide the
illuminating light into radial beams diverging from each other, in which
case each radial beam has its own refraction, reflection or baffle
assembly. Each radial beam and its attending refraction, reflection
and/or baffle assembly is used for specific lighting functions, such as
down lighting, ambient lighting, spot or flood lighting and indirect
lighting.
