Abstract
A system and method for providing light generated at a location that is easily accessible by a person on the ground and channeling the light to a remote, difficult to access location where the light is directed toward an area desired to be illuminated. The lighting system includes an illumination device adapted to direct light toward the area to be illuminated and a light source located remotely from the illumination device. The light source is located such that it is easily accessible by a person standing on the ground. A light guide channels the light generated by the light source to the illumination device. Additionally, the light guide is adapted to be a structural component of the system for supporting the illumination device.
