![]() LightTools includes an extensive collection of example models that helps designers quickly build and simulate illumination designs. ![]() The conic lens option is a powerful tool to increase the collection efficiency of point and extended light sources used in compact, energy-efficient illumination systems. A new conic lens option provides greater flexibility for surface definitions, including the ability to define a flat surface displaced from the source. ![]() The Freeform Designer assists with the design and optimization of freeform reflective and refractive optical surfaces based on an illuminance or intensity target distribution, source collection angle and distribution, as well as other geometry settings. Conformal receivers can be particularly useful for analyzing complex elements such as freeform surfaces combined with LED sources. New in this version are spherical and UV mesh mapping options, which eliminate the need to project illuminance data collected on complex surfaces onto planar meshes, and make interpretation and optimization much easier.ĭesigners can vary the number of bins in the mesh or set the desired bin size, and use the same filtering, analysis and optimization capabilities that exist for planar meshes. LightTools 8.5 introduces an expanded set of mapping options for surface receivers on non-planar surfaces, known collectively as conformal receivers.
