| Title: |
Beam Control System for an Automated Luminaire |
| Abstract: |
A luminaire includes a light emitter, an asymmetric lens, and a mechanism. The light emitter includes an exit aperture and emits a light beam having an optical axis. The asymmetric lens receives the light beam and projects a projected beam. The mechanism rotates the light emitter about an axis of rotation passing through the exit aperture, thereby moving a point of entry of the light beam into the asymmetric lens. A size and location of a hot-spot of the projected beam varies as the point of entry of the light beam into the asymmetric lens moves. The asymmetric lens includes a long axis, a short axis, and an asymmetric surface, which has a long axis parallel to the long axis of the asymmetric lens. The asymmetric surface is asymmetric in a cross-section taken in a plane perpendicular to the short axis of the asymmetric lens. |
