Description
Modern LED-based (outdoor) lighting has two major issues: glare (harsh uncomfortably bright light) and light pollution (unwanted, inappropriate, or excessive artificial lighting). To reduce glare, the usage of diffusers and lens arrays is state of the art. This results in uncontrolled light distributions that increase light pollution. In this project we try to find the design methodology for new optical components that do not have this drawback and still allow a good control of the light distribution.
