1. A lighting assembly comprising:
a housing defining a cavity that is aligned along a longitudinal axis;
at least one light source supported by the housing and aligned with the longitudinal axis;
at least one lens supported by the housing to collimate light from the light source; and
an image plate with a plurality of apertures formed through to pass a portion of the collimated light as light segments; and
an exit lens comprising:
a first series of optics arranged on a first plane spaced apart from the image plate at a first focal distance to focus the light segments at a first distance from the housing, and
a second series of optics arranged on a second plane spaced apart from the image plate at a second focal distance to focus the light segments at a second distance from the housing, wherein the second focal distance is greater than the first focal distance.
