LightTools User Survey – We want your feedback!

In effort to better serve our LightTools users, we are conducting an on-line LightTools User survey.  The survey should take 10-12 minutes to complete and is designed to give us information on what improvements and new features you would like us to make to LightTools.  

Take the LightTools User Survey Now

As an expression of appreciation for your time (and an incentive for your quick response), every current LightTools user completing the survey by November 15 can select to receive one of the three items pictured below.

Thank you in advance for your valuable feedback and for helping us to continue to make LightTools the most productive tool for illumination design and analysis.
