A light coupling and distribution system includes a plurality of light sources are used to generate light. The lighting system further has an optical fiber and a light coupler optically coupling the light sources to the fiber. The light coupler has a body and a plurality of lenslets corresponding to a respective light source. Each lenslet directs light through the body to the optical fiber.

Light coupling and distribution system

A light manifold assembly having a relatively thin and low profile manifold which is selectively placed within the frame of a back window and which receives light and/or laser energy which is generated by a source which is remotely located from the manifold

Light manifold assembly

A taillight system for an automotive vehicle has an optic manifold mounted in a assembly defining a light emitting area, a first light source configured to provide illumination through the light emitting area, and a second light source configured to provide illumination through a predetermined portion of the light emitting area. The system has an illumination mode in which the first light source provides illumination of a first intensity in a first wavelength range through the light emitting area, a brake mode in which the first light source provides illumination of a second intensity in the first wavelength range through the light emitting area, and a backup mode in which the second light source provides illumination in a second wavelength range through the predetermined portion of the light emitting area, with or without the first light source providing illumination through the light emitting area, the second wavelength range including the first wavelength range.
