Patent Number: 6565233 
Title: Color, Size and Distribution Module for Projected Light 
Abstract: A lighting module that projects various colors, hues and intensities of light, and that can change the divergence and distribution of light. The device includes a light source and a reflector to direct the light along an optic path in a generally parallel direction. The invention does not provide a beam that is parallel or even somewhat parallel. It is intended for applications in which a somewhat diffused beam is required. In addition to the light source, the module comprises a filter assembly with at least one filter therein, and a system diffusion optical element. The filter assembly controls the size and color of the light beam. The system diffusion optical element spreads the light in one or more desired directions so that fewer modules are required to light a given area.
