Circular optics
For circular optics, those optics are identified as optics that generate a
luminous emission with a symmetry of revolution about the A axis as circular
optics.
The opening angle of the beam is generally constant in all planes.
The reflectors generating these optics generally have a circular opening.
Example
Circular optic code: C/xx
where:
C = Circular
xx = the abbreviated name of the opening angle
For example: C/I - C/M - C/IW - C/MW -C/EW
Multiple optics within the same range of opening will be distinguished by
inserting
the numerical value of the beam opening at the end.
For example: C/IW46 - C/IW50

Asymmetric optics
Asymmetric optics generally have asymmetric light distribution on plane α
with a point of maximum concentration.
The axis passing through the point of maximum concentration and the point
marked by the axis of the lamp is called the Imax axis.
The light distribution on plane β, on the other hand, may be symmetric or
asymmetric.
An asymmetric optic may be symmetric in relation to one plane only.
Example
Asymmetric optic code: Ayy/xx
where:
A = Asymmetric
yy = numeric value of the Imax angle.
The Imax angle is the angle between axis A and the lmax axis.
xx = the abbreviated name of the opening angle
For example: Ayy/I – Ayy/M – Ayy/W – Ayy/EW.
By convention, the beam opening of plane α is considered.
For example:
A30/M = Asymmetric axis with Imax 30° and Medium opening
A45/I = Asymmetric axis with Imax 45° and Intensive opening
In the presence of multiple asymmetric optics with the same lmax value
and same beam opening range, it will be necessary to distinguish them by
adding the numeric value of the beam opening at the end.
For example: A45/M25 - A45/M40
