Design of LED-based reflector-array module for specific illuminance distribution

This paper presents an efficient and practical design method for a LED based reflector-array lighting module. Improving on previous designs, this method could offer higher design freedom to achieve specific illuminance distribution for actual lighting application and deal with the LED light intensity distribution while shortening the design time. The detailed design description of the lighting system is thoroughly investigated. To demonstrate the effectiveness of this method, an ultra-compact reflector-array module, which produces a rectangular illumination area with a large aspect ratio, is specially designed to meet the high-demanding requirements of industrial lighting application. Design results show that most LED emitting energy could be collected into the required lighting region while higher-brightness and better-uniformity are simultaneously available within the focus region. It is expected that this method will have great potential for other lighting applications.
