Design of multisegmented freeform lens for LED fishing/working lamp with high efficiency

Appl Opt. 2015 Oct 1;54(28):E69-74. doi: 10.1364/AO.54.000E69.

Abstract

A novel LED fishing/working light is proposed to enhance the lighting efficiency of a fishing boat. The study is focused on the freeform secondary lens design so as to create a lamp that attracts fish and sheds light on the deck for the crew's work. The experimental results show that the proposed multisegmented freeform lens can deliver the proposed aim, giving 3 times as much illuminating power as the traditional high-intensity discharge fishing lamp does with the same input of electrical power.
