ABSTRACT
A luminaire is a mirror (or an optical device) defl ecting the light from a source to a receiver so as to obtain on the receiver a prescribed light distribution. If the dimension of the light source is much smaller than the dimension of the luminaire mirror such that the light source can be considered as a point source, and the distance from the luminaire to the receiver is also very large, it is possible to obtain the shape of the luminaire mirror by the traditional design methods.1,2 If the light source is large, it is then necessary to use anidolic optics to obtain the shape of the luminaire’s mirrors.1
