Photometric Diagrams

Overview

FLT's optical solutions efficiently focus light where it’s needed. There are several standard lighting distributions that optimize performance for different applications. Each lighting distribution is full cutoff and compliant with DarkSky requirements. Measurements are in footcandles.

Type 2

Polar plot and contour plot side by side displaying a red highlighted region on the polar plot and multiple color-coded contour lines on the contour plot against a black background grid.

Type 3

Complex contour plots with colored lines representing different levels on black background; left plot is circular with a red irregular shape, right plot is rectangular with multi-colored closed contours.

Type 4

Two scientific plots side by side: left is a circular radial grid with a highlighted red teardrop-shaped area; right is a colorful contour plot with multiple concentric, irregular loops on a dark background.

Type 4F

Two scientific graphs side by side: left is a polar plot with concentric circles and radial lines marked, highlighting a red enclosed area; right is a contour plot with five colored contour lines in orange, yellow, green, light blue, and dark blue on a black grid background.

Type 5

Two plots showing contour maps of different shapes, one circular with radial lines and a red contour inside, and one square-shaped with four nested contours in yellow, green, blue, and purple.
