An illuminator for a high energy remote lighting system includes a light source for generating light energy and a selectively positionable light output modifying apparatus having a plurality of light output modifying elements, each element corresponding to a predetermined position of at least a portion of the apparatus. At least some of the light output modifying elements of the apparatus are configured to filter light energy to provide either dimmed or colored light. The illuminator can be implemented in a system having a plurality of area control panels, each control panel generating a control signal indicative of a corresponding light characteristic, the illuminators each being coupled to a corresponding one of the area control panels to receive the control signal and to output a particular type of light in response thereto.

Remote illumination system having a light output modifying apparatus

A remotely illuminated lighting system (10) incorporates a lighting system sequencer (18) for providing a sequenced distribution of light signals to a plurality of light distribution devices (108, 208, 210 and 212). An illumination source (12) provides focused light signals (44, 46) to the lighting system sequencer (18). The lighting system sequencer (18) includes an optical scanner (22) and an electronic control (24) for selectively directing the light signals (44, 46) to individual optical fibers (20) of a fiber-optic distribution system. The optical fibers (20) couple the light signals to the luminaires (108, 208, 210 and 212), which sequentially illuminate in accordance with a desired pattern.
