Arrow Electronics has introduced an application platform that enables engineers to design complete LED lighting products in an online environment.
The Lighting Designer platform — which features built-in design guidelines — combines multiple tools for selecting and optimising LED products, adding secondary optics, defining the power supply and selecting and laying out a design.
Each tool can be used independently to design and analyse individual components or in tandem to develop comprehensive products, according to the company.
In addition to LED product and system data, the tool offers several LED system options, such as the ‘recommended’, ‘highest efficacy’ and ‘least expensive’ solutions; after selecting an option, users can see suggested alternatives and the return on investment for transitioning from traditional lighting.
