Design of Polygon Prism Optical Lens for LED Street Lamps

Abstract

High-power light emitting diode (LED) develops greatly owing to its high energy efficiency, high color rendering and long life. However, it is important to design a secondary optical lens for the LED lamps to obtain a good output efficiency and light distribution pattern. The purpose of the secondary optical design for light emitting diode (LED) illumination is to rearrange the luminous flux output of LED and then achieve the desired luminous intensity distribution. In this paper, a polygon prism lens for street lamps was designed and the desired illumination was achieved. The design procedure of the polygon prism lens is presented. The simulation of the street lamps is implemented using Tracepro 7.0. The results show that the polygon prism lens can distribute the luminous flux accurately and reasonably. The luminous flux can be saved as much as possible and a rectangular distribution of luminous flux is attained.
