Abstract
A wash light optical system for use with a light beam generator includes a converging optical element that reduces the size of a light beam from the light beam generator, a color filtration mechanism that is capable of filtering the reduced light beam to a selected one of two or more colors, a spreading optical element that increases the size of the filtered light beam, and a beam shaping optical element. The optical system may also include a dimming mechanism that is capable of reducing the intensity of the light beam to a selected one of two or more intensities. The optical system may be enclosed in a housing that includes a coupling mechanism capable of detachably mounting the housing to the light beam generator.
