Abstract
A lighting apparatus to provide concentrated illumination to an end of a fiber optic bundle to produce useable light includes a light source emitting visible light and heat, including infrared radiation and ultra-violet radiation. A reflector is positioned adjacent to the light source to direct light from the light source toward an end of the fiber optic bundle. A light and heat trap is positioned adjacent to the reflector for trapping heat and redirecting stray light in combination with the reflector toward the end of the fiber optic bundle. A hot mirror is positioned between the light and heat trap and the end of the fiber optic bundle to allow visible light to be transmitted through the mirror and to reflect infrared and ultra-violet radiation to prevent substantially all of the emitted infrared and ultra-violet radiation from reaching the fiber optic bundle.
