Disclosed is an illumination device for projecting a substantially uniform
light at a remote distance. The illumination device comprises a mounting
assembly divided into a plurality of sections, each section comprising a
plurality of light emitting sources arranged substantially equi-distant
along a circumference of said assembly at an angle to project a light
image at the remote distance, an contact plate connected via a central
axis with, and fixed to, the mounting assembly, the contact plate
providing an electrical contact to each of the light emitting devices, a
plurality of lensing assemblies equal in number to plurality of sections
axially aligned with the mounting assembly, the lensing assembly aligned
with a select one of the light emitting sources in a corresponding
section, the light emitting source being positioned in front of a focal
point of the lensing assembly, each lensing assembly comprising at least
one optically transparent lens determining said lensing assembly focal
point, and means for shifting said contact plate and mounting assembly to
align a select one of said light emitting devices with a corresponding
lensing assembly. In another aspect of the invention, the lens assemblies
may be positioned linearly and light emitting sources are positioned
along an edge of the mounting assemblies, wherein the LEDs are positioned
in front of the lensing assemblies by shifting each of the mounting
assemblies.
