Luminaires with a high density of LEDs will provide a lot of light with high lumens per Watt but about half of the Watts will be dissipated as heat. Engineering a fixture that provides a heat path comprised of high thermal conductivity materials such as aluminum is an easy but not necessarily cost effective solution. [...]
A client requested help creating attractive polar plots. I assumed that we could use matplotlib to help them. The code below produced nice plots. import matplotlib.pyplot as P import matplotlib from matplotlib import rc rc('text', usetex=True) rc('font', family='serif') P.clf() sp = P.subplot(1, 1, 1, projection='polar') sp.set_theta_zero_location('S') sp.set_theta_direction(-1) plot1=P.plot(measured_angle, measured_data, color='b') p1 = P.Rectangle((0, 0), 1, [...]
