Abstract
A positive-powered lens for collecting and organizing the light output from a plurality of light sources into a single secondary source that has an anterior surface, upon which are disposed light-collecting tessellates that are arranged in an ordered geometrical (e.g., a square, rectangular, circular, or oval) pattern surface, and a posterior surface that is convex. The tessellates can have a common surface equation a different surface equation but equivalent focal lengths. The tessellates are associated with a plurality of light sources, each having a proximal face that is coplanar with the focal planes of the tessellates.
