How it works
Luminous Algorithms uses a patented system to compute the light field of your LED sources — and the optimal way to shape it into your desired beam profile.
The result: smooth, production-ready free-form optical surfaces.
Faceted designs? No problem — Facetts and transition surfaces can be added with just a few clicks.
Our integrated 3D editor gives you full control to fit optical surfaces into existing geometries such as bezels, housings, or mechanical constraints.
Performance evaluations and preview geometries are generated within minutes.
Finally, production-grade surfaces are ready in just a few hours.
The outcome: an unprecedentedly fast optical engineering workflow — seamlessly integrated with your existing CAD tools.
Accelerate Engineering
Unleash Creativity & Potential
Our disruptive software transforms the way optical surfaces are engineered.
Instead of relying on time-consuming, iterative ray-tracing simulations, our solution computes free-form optical geometries directly from product parameters such as target light distribution and mechanical constraints — fully hands-free.
This approach delivers reliable results with predictable timing and significantly lower development costs.
The result: Better products, faster time to market. Fewer development loops and smoother collaboration between engineering, project management, and customers.

What you might want to know Frequently asked questions:
Not exactly. Luminous Engineer is not in direct competition with ray-tracing tools. Ray tracing remains valuable — for example, when analyzing stray light in complex setups. However, our software significantly reduces the time and CPU resources needed for such simulations.
Luminous Modeler exports lighting data in IES and EULUMDAT formats.
Luminous Engineer exports surface geometries to STL, IGES and STEP formats.
Luminous Engineer is designed to compute free-form reflectors for lighting applications. Multi-surface systems — such as lenses or TIR optics — are on our roadmap. Working on display optics or another specialized field? Contact us — we’d love to explore your use case.
Our software runs entirely in your web browser — no installation, no need for high-end local hardware.
