Accelerate TIR Lens Design Using LED Lens Design Features
Application Notes
Learn how to accelerate LED TIR (Total Internal Reflection) lens design using LightTools. This application note demonstrates a streamlined workflow for designing high-efficiency LED lenses, controlling beam angles, and optimizing light distribution for illumination applications. Through practical examples, including a Cree LED-based design achieving approximately 97% optical efficiency and a 17.5° FWHM beam angle, discover how engineers can rapidly create, analyze, and refine TIR lens designs for downlights, automotive lighting, light guides, and architectural illumination. This guide highlights LightTools' advanced LED lens design capabilities, enabling faster optical development, reduced design complexity, and improved lighting performance.
