Abstract
This paper reviews developments in the design and application of systems in which light is transmitted by a guiding device before being emitted at a remote location. The characteristics of the components that make up the systems are described, appropriate design methods are outlined, and some recent applications discussed. While remote-source systems are widely used, particularly in decorative and display lighting, it is apparent that the research and development effort has concentrated upon the light transport component. This paper identifies further investigation that is necessary into suitable light sources, emitters, photometry methods and calculation techniques which are required if the full potential of remote source technology is to be realised.
