LED Simulation Reflector Lenses
Lambda Research Corp.
TracePro® is an award-winning opto-mechanical design software for layout, optimization, & analysis of illumination systems. This white paper illustrates how TracePro allows users to begin a project with an initial or basic design for LED lighting systems, use software simulation prior to building hardware, and easily create complex reflector shapes. TracePro’s reflector and lens simulation utilities are specifically designed to help CAD designers without traditional optical engineering expertise design LED optical components quickly.
