HBLEDs promise a new paradigm in lighting. Lighting industry acceptance of this exciting new source will be based on the ability of LED lamp and luminaire manufacturers to work together and in conjunction with technical societies to propose and adopt new standards, solve technical challenges, and develop effective luminaires. Once these luminaires are able to deliver superior value, industry adoption promises to be rapid based on the implementation of similar technologies in recent history.
KEYWORDS: Lamps, Reflectors, Ray tracing, Optical components, Light sources and illumination, Radiative transfer, Systems modeling, Software development, Performance modeling, Monte Carlo methods
The lighting industry, like many others, has experienced a tremendous amount of change over the last three decades. This change has been, to a large part, driven by significant advancements in technology outside of its own realm. In particular, the increased availability of raw computing power to a wider range of users has had an extensive effect on how this industry designs the optical components of their products. The purpose of this paper is to take a look back at some of hte evolution that has occurred and then to examine where the lighting industry may be going.
