Abstract
A high intensity lighting device ( ) is provided. The lighting device has a linear light source ( ), a reflective member ( ), and a translucent region ( ). The linear light source and reflective member typically share a common axis. The reflective member, which can take many shapes, causes light which would normally be absorbed or propagated within a light housing ( ) to converge on the translucent region. The translucent region having a longitudinal axis coincident to the common axis focuses rays of light to an intended area. If desired, a lens ( ) may also be used to collimate the light such as a cylindrical lens or one or more prisms ( ) for example.
