Optics

LED lighting is more expensive than traditional light sources, so it is critical to maximize the optical efficiency of an LED by harnessing all the light that is available. This means designing optics to distribute the light to the exact areas needed without waste and without giving up light quality or performance.

Opto Technology utilizes LightTools and TracePro optical modeling software along with LED source files from the LED manufacturers such as Philips, Cree, Nichia and Osram to simulate the performance of the optical system.

Uniformity, intensity, homogeneous color blending, tight or unique beam profiles and cost requirements all play important roles in selecting an optical design approach. Opto Technology specializes in high performance optical designs where precision is important. Our goal is to offer our customers a custom design that offers them a competitive advantage in the market. Let us do the same for you.
