Photopia 2025.1 Release


TM-30 Reports

My Photopia webpage

Photopia 2025.1 includes TM-30 Reports for all raytraces. Photopia has performed full color raytraces since 2014 and we have over 490 full color lamp models in our library. With TM-30 reports you can see a range of color quality metrics for your overall output, such as CRI, xy, u'v', Rf, Rg, CCT and Duv.


Improved Color Uniformity Plots

Quantitative color differences can now be seen in more ways with new recorder display options for CCT, u' from average, v' from average & Duv. The images below show the true color, CCT, u' from average and delta u'v' from average plots for a tunable white design with clear color variations around the beam perimeter.

Improvements to the Collimator Design Tools

My Photopia webpage

The stepped, inner and double shaft collimator design tools now support an offset Lamp Y dimension to make it easier to design around LED and lens holders, as shown in this example. A COB holder and twist lock lens holder both require that the lens is located well below the LED position.
