In one embodiment, apparatus is provided with a light source, an optic element, at least one photosensor, and a control system. The optic element has a reflective material on a surface thereof, and is positioned to receive and reflect light emitted by the light source. The at least one photosensor is mounted to the surface of the optic element on which the reflective material resides, over a portion of the optic element on which the reflective material does not reside. The control system is operably associated with both the photosensor(s) and the light source, to regulate the light source's light output in accordance with measurements received from the photosensor(s).
