Dialux Lighting Simulation & Photometric Analysis

Ensure optimal lighting layout before installation. Our expert Dialux simulation services provide data-driven photometric analysis for industrial & outdoor lighting projects.

1. What is the Dialux Lighting Simulation

Dialux is the industry-standard software for professional lighting calculation and simulation. Think of it as a virtual laboratory for light.

We import the precise IES or LDT files of your selected or customized luminaires, which contain the complete photometric characteristics of the fixtures, into your spatial model. The software then calculates key data such as the required number of luminaires, suggested installation locations, and corresponding Lux levels. A comprehensive report is then generated for your reference.

2. Why is Dialux lighting simulation critical for your project

manage expectation

Before deploying a lighting project, the lighting effects should be verified. This prevents safety hazards caused by insufficient lighting and avoids energy waste due to excessive lighting.

Up to standard

Many industrial facilities and public projects must meet specific illumination standards, such as EN12464 and IES RP-7. Performing lighting simulations in advance can ensure compliance.

More efficient

Determining the required number of light fixtures and their installation locations in advance can significantly improve project efficiency and reduce both time and operating costs.

Comfortable lighting

By adjusting the parameters of the lighting fixtures during the lighting simulation process, higher Uniformity and lower UGR ​​can be achieved, resulting in a more comfortable lighting environment.

3. Our Lighting Simulation Workflow

Our process is designed for clarity and collaboration, ensuring the final layout aligns perfectly with your expectation.

step 1: Project Information Communication

First, we will gather information about your project and lighting objectives, including space dimensions and drawings, wall/ceiling/floor materials and surface reflectivity, and the required lux levels.

step 2: Model Building & Luminaire Selection

Our experts will build a digital model of your project in Dialux software. Then, we will match suitable LED luminaires based on your chosen products or our recommendations.

step 3: Advanced Lighting Calculations

We will run simulations to analyze:

  • Average / minimum / and maximum lux.
  • Lighting uniformity.
  • Luminance distribution.

We won’t just run one simulation. We will iteratively adjust mounting height, spacing, aiming angles, and even lens/reflector types to find the most efficient and effective layout solution.

step 4: Comprehensive Simulation Report

Following the lighting simulation, you will receive a detailed report, including a list of required luminaires, suggested luminaire installation layouts, and corresponding lux levels.

4. Key Information Required from You

a. Space drawing files.

b. Surface Characteristics of the application

c. required lux level

d. confirm the ies/ldt file of the luminaires
