AIMLIGHT® combines
reflector design and photometric analysis.
It is the purpose of AIMLIGHT® to make reflector design and reflector analysis
as simple as possible, making the calculation program a valuable tool for
the designer of lighting systems.
A calculation method has been developed for AIMLIGHT® that allows
to predetermine the light intensity distribution of the reflectors calculated.
For every reflector design AIMLIGHT® immediately determines the radiant
tendency, thus making it possible to make photometric statements on
the reflector while it only exists "on the screen". Prototype testing is no
longer required, leading to shorter development times and substantial
savings for the user.
The near-realistic characterization of the photometric distribution has
been confirmed in many comparative measurements with real reflectors.
With the photometric AIMLIGHT® data in the EULUMDAT- or IES-format lighting design can be performed.
AIMLIGHT® can be used to design reflectors allowing for a variety of
requirements on photometric distribution and glare limitation.
With AIMLIGHT® any desired luminous intensity
distribution can be realized.
In order to obtain the desired luminous intensity distribution it is possible,
with AIMLIGHT®, to modify the radiant intensity from the edge or the
center of the reflector, in fine increments. Depending on the photometric
requirements there will be an increase or decrease of radiation from
these reflector areas, under the radiation angles chosen.
This adjustment is made via two so-called distribution factors.
AIMLIGHT® calculates two-dimensional reflector shapes. The result is
presented in the form of X-Y coordinates and as a reflector graph.
A reflector graphic chart is produced showing a limited number of light
beams from the light source to the reflector plus the corresponding
reflected light beams. This is true both for a point light source and
one of finite extension.
The light beams presented are considered to
be typical of the totality of light beams emitted.
Numerous standard lamp types are contained in a lamp list and can be inserted into the reflector.
AIMLIGHT® can also take into account the diffusion caused by
different surface materials.
You are able to choose different texture- and reflection-degrees.
AIMLIGHT® is both available as Standard Edition with coordinate calculation
and reflector graphic and Professional and Premium Edition with coordinate
calculation, reflector graphic and light distribution.
So you can decide by yourself which scope of services you need.
