Abstract
A light conductor having a bundle of optic fibers to transmit light, and a method for bending the light conductor made up of optic fibers. The light conductor with a bundle of optic fibers to transmit light of a light source, which can be coupled onto a first end portion of the light conductor, to a second end portion of the light conductor, includes a first portion and a curved second portion configured as a connecting portion, where the optic fibers in the second portion are fixed in place with respect to one another, free of tension, by means of a hardened cementing agent, while maintaining the curvature.
