COMPARISON OF RAY-TRACING AT LIGHT SOURCE OFFSET WHEN FORMING CURVES ARE VARIOUS CONES

Elena Pastuchová - Alfonz Smola

   We have shown a new way of extension of the application range of rotary symmetric reflectors. This method is based on redirecting light rays by shifting the light source along the axis of rotation. Its advantage is the possibility to create various types of luminous intensity distribution curves using one reflector. Solutions for parabolic, elliptic and hyperbolic forming curves have been calculated.

Keywords: luminous intensity distribution curve, reflector's forming curve, luminous flux
