Variable spot size + color mixing optical system
In applications like concert show lighting, architectural lighting, and cinema projection, achieving good color mixing and variable spot size is essential. The optics design in front of a RGBW LED source must include optimization for color uniformity as well as beam shape. A common solution is to place diffuse materials in the optical path. This […]
5 best materials for LED illumination optics
Freeform lenses (including TIR lenses) and lightpipes are the two most common types of LED illumination optics. They can be made using injection molding and are affordable. Glass materials are not common for general illumination, but are used for spherical lenses or aspheres in devices such as optical instruments with Abbe or Köhler illumination. In […]
