My daughter is an industrial design major in college, and she is interning at a company that manufactures riding lawn mowers. She has been given the task of evaluating the current design of the mower's headlights and to try and come up with an improved design.
The current design uses LEDs, but they're not very bright. She is doing lots of research on types of LEDs, reflector designs, lens designs, etc. She also asked for my advice. (I'm an EE, but I don't know much about LEDs.) So I have also been doing research on those topics.
So I guess I am just looking for general advice here. Single LED or multiple LEDs? Parabolic reflector, focusing lens, or a combination of the two? What about using those LEDs that are plug-in replacements for halogen bulbs?
Thanks
