Lighting system with multiple beam shapes

A light fixture having multiple lens apparatus for changing a shape projected by a beam of light comprising:

• means for projecting a beam of light, the beam projecting a first beam shape having a first cross-sectional geometry;
• a first lens device supported in the fixture and movable into a position to interrupt the beam of light for altering the first projected beam shape from the first cross-sectional geometry to a second projected beam shape having a second cross-sectional geometry different from the first geometry, the first lens device including at least one lenticular lens element having a plurality of lenticules oriented in a first direction;
• and
• a second lens device, separate from the first lens device, supported in the fixture and movable into a position to interrupt the beam of light for altering the second projected beam shape from the second cross-sectional geometry to a third projected beam shape having a third cross-sectional geometry different from the first and second geometries, the second lens device including another lenticular lens element overlapping the one lenticular lens element of the first lens device, and having a plurality of lenticules oriented in a second direction, different from the first direction.

A moving light fixture comprising:

• a yoke;
• means for movably suspending the yoke from a support;
• a housing movably connected to the yoke, the housing having a first portion including a light source and means for removing heat generated from the light source, and a second portion including a plurality of movable color filters and a plurality of lens devices, the light source being operable to project a beam of light having a first beam shape of a first cross-sectional geometry, along a path through the color filters and the lens devices;
• a first one of the lens devices supported in the fixture and movable into a position to interrupt the beam of light for altering the first projected beam shape from the first cross-sectional geometry to a second projected beam shape having a second cross-sectional geometry different from the first geometry, the first lens device including at least one lenticular lens element;
• and
• a second lens device separate from the first lens device, supported in the fixture and movable into a position to interrupt the beam of light for altering the second projected beam shape from the second cross-sectional geometry to a third projected beam shape having a third cross-sectional geometry different from the first and second geometries, the second lens device including another lenticular lens element overlapping the one lenticular lens element of the first lens device.
