A SCIENTIFIC APPROACH TO SPECIFYING AND MODELING PLASTICS FOR LIGHTING
Publication:
ANTEC 2011
There are many ways to characterize and communicate essential information about plastic materials destined for use in lighting applications. Most lack the specificity required by the lighting systems designer in order to predict system performance. There are ways to model and specify materials that provide easier intuitive understanding and techniques that allow predictive CAD tools to be used. The paper will cover:
- Lighting materials description
- Conventional methods of characterization
- Improved methods of characterization and description
- Influence on solid state light sources
- Comparisons of methods for use in subsequent modeling
