Optics
The AI Prime 16HD comes standard with TIR (Total Internal Reflection) lens.
When light travels from a denser medium (like glass) to a less dense medium (like air) at a specific angle, it reflects back into the denser medium instead of refracting. This phenomenon is called total internal reflection. Their internal structure is designed to guide light through multiple reflections, resulting in a highly controlled and focused beam.
Benefits of TIR Lenses:
- By minimizing light loss, TIR lenses offer superior light output, boasting greater than 90% optical efficiency compared to traditional lenses.
- They allow for precise manipulation of the light beam's shape, size, and intensity.
- TIR lenses can create even and consistent light patterns.
