T2-GLASS Uniformity

This lens was designed to fulfill the lighting requirements for T2 distribution that offers enhanced coverage and improved uniformity

Features

• Uniformity

• Glare Control

Challenges

The primary challenge was the development of a continuous optical geometry optimized for manufacturing in glass. This design had to meet two key objectives: to achieve a progressive attenuation of light at high vertical angles and, simultaneously, to prevent the formation of light concentrations that would cause abrupt variations and compromise the uniformity of the illumination.

Solution

To ensure lighting uniformity and glare control, we used zonal spherical constants as the basis for the design. This allowed to calculate the ideal lumen distribution to project most of the light within the 30° to 70° range. By focusing the glass optic’s performance in this specific zone, it was achieved a continuous geometry that not only improves lighting uniformity and minimizes glare but also optimizes the manufacturing process.
