any software for designing reflectors?

[loneranger]

Does anyone have any recommendations for software to use for designing reflectors? I'm trying to make some custom reflectors for cree LEDs.

I know that there are expensive computer modeling packages like TracePro. I do not know if any free or inexpensive utilities exist. If you find something affordable please post your findings. I would be very interested in doing some reflector designs of my own.

Good luck!!

I was searching for that info just a few weeks ago. Found several with Google.

You can use the basic program at http://www.phoenixnavigation.com/ptbc/articles/ptbc37.htm and scale as needed.

I also found several Java apps, but I don't remember which computer I was using when I bookmarked them.
