Optics are a crucial component of an LED system, because it’s not a question of “if” your fixture will light up, but “how” it will.
Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have redefined the way light is controlled, a process previously associated with traditional light sources, which, due to their omnidirectional nature, typically required the use of reflector systems to direct light where it was needed. Modern light sources generate a massive amount of light energy from the small surface area of a chip mounted flat within the module. This necessitated the design of additional, secondary optical systems to unlock the potential for virtually any photometric shape. This makes it possible to very precisely determine the intensity and directions of light distribution from light-emitting diodes.
If you want your product to stand out in the market and are committed to achieving the highest possible LED performance, we invite you to discuss a custom optical solution that we will design from scratch and implement into production.
Secondary optical assemblies are manufactured by several reputable manufacturers specializing in the production of optical assemblies, offering lenses with a wide range of beam angles—both rotationally symmetric and asymmetric—optimized for the most popular LEDs. These are often referred to as off-the-shelf optics, and we readily use them in our projects when they allow us to meet our design objectives. Furthermore, this is the most cost-effective approach, with no upfront costs.
However, if project requirements preclude the use of standard optical systems and if it makes economic sense, we encourage you to consider a custom design that maximizes the efficiency and performance of the LED light by directing it exactly where it is needed. We also design modules for devices outside the lighting market that require the use of custom mechanical components integrated into the housing to provide the desired optical properties.
We design optical systems tailored to the specific requirements of each application, such as street lighting, industrial lighting, architectural lighting, or specialized lighting. This ensures you get exactly the beam angle, light distribution, and visual effect you need.
Well-designed optics not only ensure precise light distribution but also deliver higher luminous efficacy, lower energy losses, and better light control. As a result, your products provide better, more efficient lighting that meets all lighting standards.
Our approach involves fully integrating the optics with the entire luminaire design—including the mechanical components, light source, and cooling system. As a result, there is no risk of incompatibility, and the design functions as a single, cohesive system.
We use light distribution modeling software and conduct measurements of the finished solutions. This ensures that the optics not only look good on paper but also perform perfectly in real-world conditions.
