The functional catoptric LED luminaire in T8 form factor

Abstract

This chapter aims at enhancing the model validness in the LED luminaire simulation. Regarding the deviation between simulation outcomes and the real measured data, the optical parameters to model the simulation were adjusted or, even, added the newer ones. After recursive simulation, the updated or renewed model would progressively approach to the physical one. Our studies concluded that the formatting of scatter parameter, which ordinarily ignored, factors critically in pursuing a better emulation. Practically, a home-made catoptric LED luminaire is referred to find the suitable parametric set that would derive the candela profiles each other approached. Finally, the example of the desktop lamp having adjustable catoptric optics is instanced to demonstrate the achievements of this study. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media New York.
