The invention provides a light generating system comprising (i) one or more light generating devices and (ii) an optical system; wherein the one or more light generating devices are configured to generate device light; wherein the optical system is configured in a light receiving relationship with the one or more light generating devices; wherein the optical system comprises an optical arrangement; and wherein the optical arrangement comprises a first micro lens array comprising a plurality of first micro lenses configured in a first tessellated arrangement around a first central array point, wherein the first micro lenses have first radii of curvature (Rc1) and central first micro lens points, wherein with increasing radial distance (r1) from the first central array point, mutual first heart-to-heart distances (dm1) between adjacent first micro lenses decrease, while the first radii of curvature (Rc1) of the first micro lenses stay substantially constant.
A light generating system comprising (i) one or more light generating devices and (ii) an optical system;
An optical component comprising a collimator element, and a first micro lens array wherein the first micro lens array comprises a plurality of first micro lenses configured in a first tessellated arrangement around a first central array point, wherein the first micro lenses have first radii of curvature-and central first micro lens points, wherein the first radii of curvature have a number averaged average value Rc1a, wherein with increasing radial distance from the first central array point, mutual first heart-to-heart distances between adjacent first micro lenses decrease gradually, and wherein the first radii of curvature for at least 95% of the first micro lenses are selected from the range of 0.95*Rc1a-1.05*Rc1a,
