Elliptical beam

Side Emitting

Key metrics used when discussing optics:

FWHM：

Full Width Half Maximum; the solid angle at which the light reaches half of its maximum intensity

Efficiency:

How much light passes through the optic.

Cd/lm：

How directive the optic is.

Higher Cd/lm = narrower beam

Distribution Type, such as Type I, Type II, Type III, Type IV and Type V

Benefits of using standard optics:

No design or tooling charges

Many different sizes and beam patterns available

Available with and without lens holders

High efficiency available (>90%)

Available for most LEDs & COBs

Application specific optics are also available:
