Abstract
The invention relates to computer implemented method that enables the generation of a virtual design of a lighting device and that determines the components for the virtually designed lighting device. The computer implemented method comprises four main steps and will be performed on a computing device or system. First, the computing device receives desired lighting output information indicative of a desired lighting output. Then, it selects an initial virtual lighting device able to generate the desired lighting output. Subsequently, it adapts parameters of the initial virtual lighting device for generating the virtual design of the lighting device while retaining the desired lighting output. Finally, the components-for the virtually designed lighting device are determined based on the virtual design of the lighting device and on the desired lighting output information, wherein the step of determining the components comprises: determininga number of lumens based on the desired lighting output, determininga number of light emitters and a type of the light emittersbased on the number of lumens and based on the desired lighting output and determininga number of drivers and a type of the driversbased on the number and type of light emitters.
