Externet Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Hi all. How can light from multiple sources be simultaneously directed to a single area/direction ? Is there any unusual -or not- shape of lens/material/coating (cone, dome... ?) that refracts light incoming from any direction and bends/focuses it towards the same spot ? Those "solatubes" installable on roofs gather light from nearly all directions and by its mirrored internal surfaces tube it is 'piped' to a single 'destination' If a chamber had its 4 walls and ceiling covered with light bulbs, what optics contraption could be placed in such chamber so the light hitting the contraption be channelized/ducted/refracted/conveyed to the surface where it stands ? Would a hemispheric lens (flat at bottom) illuminate the surface it rests on with the sum of light incoming from all directions ?
