For most of history, humans used flames to generate light. Eventually, they discovered that a super-heated metal element in a light bulb could produce useful illumination, only for this technology to be superseded by the LED. One common feature unites all these forms of light: each is a single light source which throws a more or less homogeneous beam of light over a broad field of illumination. This leaves very little freedom to control the direction of the beam: LED light can be controlled more than light bulbs or candles, but lenses or reflectors can shape even an LED&rsquo...
