Arrow Electronics announced a major upgrade to Arrow Lighting Designer, the popular cloud-based application platform that enables engineers to design complete LED lighting solutions, within a convenient online environment.
Arrow Lighting Designer includes several powerful new features for both experienced and novice engineers to further reduce the design cycle. The latest version incorporates numerous new design workflows, such as turnkey lighting modules, created based on reference designs developed by Arrow's lighting experts, and has also boosted a design wizard to quickly deal with issues. design-specific constraints, plus a custom design workflow that provides complete flexibility for expert users. Its new heat engine allows users to perform thermal analysis of the system throughout the design. The ROI (return on investment) analysis function has been further extended to support the entire system, instead of just serving to evaluate the light source. Plus, with a selection of over 6.500 components, users can quickly check Arrow availability and pricing, as well as download a BOM for the entire design. This integrated design environment combines multiple modules, including light sources, optical subs, power supplies, connectors, heat sinks, and cards to develop a system solution.
With integrated design guidelines, powerful simulation and analytical computers, along with an extensive bill of materials module, engineers can achieve rapid results and access a broad portfolio of products from leading component manufacturers, all in one a practical and intuitive online environment.
