Abstract
A system is provided for illuminating a winglet cap of a winglet. The system includes the winglet cap, a light source, a total internal reflection (TIR) lens positioned in proximity to the light source, and a prismatic lens positioned between the light source and the winglet cap. In the system, light produced by the light source reflects off a surface of the TIR lens and passes through the prismatic lens. In the system, the prismatic lens bends the light and directs the bent light toward an inside surface of the winglet cap.
