About this technology
Overview
The software tool was originally designed and implemented for use with the Advanced Biological Research System (ABRS) lighting panel upgrade. The upgrade was required since the LEDs used in the original design are no longer available in small quantity, and newer LEDs have a much higher efficiency. Even though the software tool is currently written for a flat panel containing LEDs pointing normal to the panel, the equations used are fundamental to the physics of the problem and therefore can be applied to any geometrical configuration by implementing a modified user interface.
