Description

Lighting can be a challenging subject to master, and even after gaining knowledge, executing effective lighting plans can be a cumbersome task. Interior designers, architects, and kitchen and bath designers often seek to manage their lighting designs independently, yet they may lack the essential technical expertise and the time required for intricate calculations. LightCalc was developed to address these challenges effectively. With this innovative tool, there is no need for extensive mathematical knowledge! It utilizes readily available information from designers, such as ceiling height, room dimensions, counter height, and color schemes. Once this data is inputted, LightCalc efficiently calculates the ideal footcandle levels and fixture spacing, while also recommending a ceiling layout for the lighting fixtures. Designers will appreciate the intuitive point-and-click interface, along with the visual representations that illustrate the impact of the lighting design. This user-friendly program empowers designers to create tailored lighting solutions with ease and confidence.

Description

Radiance is designed to assist lighting designers and architects in forecasting the illumination levels and visual characteristics of a space before it is built. This software package comprises tools for modeling and converting scene geometry, luminaire specifications, and material attributes, all essential for the simulation process. Utilizing ray tracing techniques, the lighting simulation calculates radiance values—representing the amount of light that travels through a specific point in a designated direction—and typically presents these values in a high-quality photographic image format. Users can analyze, view, and modify the resulting images within the software, as well as export them to various widely-used image file formats, thus enabling the creation of printed outputs. Of particular importance to users is the primary component of the Radiance package: the lighting simulation engine, which not only determines light levels but also generates detailed images, allowing for enhanced visualization and assessment of lighting designs. Furthermore, this capability aids in refining the design process by offering insights into potential adjustments before actual construction begins.
