Question 1

How does Dialux calculate lighting effects?

Accepted Answer

Dialux is a professional lighting design software mainly used to calculate and simulate indoor and outdoor lighting effects of buildings. In the urban roads and buildings industry, Dialux provides a comprehensive toolset that allows users to simulate the distribution and effect of light sources in space, allowing designers and engineers to combine parameters such as building geometry, reflectivity and surface materials. The distribution and optical characteristics of lamps, etc., are simulated and calculated such as lighting distribution, illumination level, light intensity level and light uniformity. These are very helpful for them to plan, design, optimize and evaluate lighting solutions.

Question 2

How do I calculate how many lights I need?

Accepted Answer

You need to know the total lumens required and the lumens of the fixture.

1. If you need to estimate how many lumens you need for a room or project, simply multiply the surface area that needs to be illuminated by the required illuminance. For example, for a 100 square meter workshop, the illumination requirement is 500lux, you need 100*500 or 50,000 lumens.

2. The lumens of lamps are usually clearly marked. If not, you can calculate it by Lumen output=Light efficiency * wattage.

The final number of lamps = total lumens / lumens of lamps = 50000/12500 = 4, that is, you need 4 pieces 100W highbay lamps (take 100W, 125lm/W as an example).

Question 3

What are the functions of Dialux and other similar software?

Accepted Answer

DIALux is a world-class lighting simulation software that can be applied to IES/LDT files provided by all lighting manufacturers. It is available for free and is widely used in indoor and outdoor lighting design. During the simulation process, users can create lighting scenes by loading DWG or DXF files, or they can model their own models to make the scene richer. Then, lighting calculations are performed based on the user's design (lamp arrangement and lamp light distribution), and functions such as 3D visualization, ray tracing, false color rendering, and parameter tables are provided to confirm whether the solution is correct or not. Similar lighting simulation software includes AGI32, Relux and elumtools, etc.
