Abstract
Illumination design has historically been more efficient to perform using prototypes than by using computer design tools. That situation has changed with better understanding of the limitations of illumination systems and dramatic improvements in computing power and simulation accuracy. In particular, software base optimization of illumination systems is now possible. Design trends and how they relate to making an illumination designer's job fun will be discussed.
