Abstract
In the last years it has been shown that efficient collimator systems for point sources can be designed with the flux tube method in combination with an optimiser. In this paper it will be shown that this method can be extended to extended light sources. Various collimator designs for different types of sources will be discussed that transform the illuminance into imposed distribution.
