More About LTI Optics
LTI Optics develops specialized software that supports the design, simulation, and evaluation of lighting optics for use in luminaires and related lighting products. Its tools are used by lighting engineers, product developers, and technical teams in manufacturing and Research and Development (R&D) environments that require precise control over light distribution, efficiency, and visual performance. These environments include architectural and commercial lighting, roadway and outdoor lighting, and other domains where optical performance and regulatory compliance are relevant.
The company’s offerings focus on virtual prototyping of reflector and lens systems, enabling users to construct detailed optical models of luminaires and assess how design choices affect photometric output. This includes analysis of beam patterns, glare, efficiency, and flux utilization. In enterprise workflows, these capabilities align with computer-aided engineering (CAE) and product lifecycle management (PLM) practices, where optical performance data feeds into mechanical design, thermal analysis, and compliance documentation.
LTI Optics’ software uses ray-tracing and optical modeling methods (optical simulation / Cognitive Analytics Engine (CAE)) to evaluate light propagation through complex geometries and materials. Users can import or create 3D geometry, assign optical properties such as reflectance and transmittance, and generate photometric files for downstream use in lighting calculations and documentation. These functions support common lighting engineering practices, including preparation of photometric distributions for use in lighting design tools and building information modeling (BIM) workflows.
Within an enterprise technology stack, LTI Optics fits into engineering simulation and modeling (CAE) and specialized design tools for the lighting and illumination domain. Its products are used alongside mechanical Cohort Analysis Dashboard (CAD) systems, electrical design tools, and test and measurement systems in laboratories and production environments. Technical teams use the software to reduce the need for repeated physical prototypes, to investigate alternative optical configurations, and to support validation of designs against project requirements and standards.
For directory and taxonomy purposes, LTI Optics can be categorized under optical design and simulation software (CAE), photometric analysis tools for lighting, and engineering software for luminaire and lighting product development. Its capabilities are relevant to enterprises and institutions that produce lighting equipment or that maintain in-house lighting engineering teams requiring dedicated optical modeling and analysis workflows.
