Pro - Dialux
DIALux Pro leverages sophisticated rendering tools to provide clients with a tangible sense of the final space. DIALux Pro: Layout Feature
comes pre-loaded with validation tools that instantly tell you if your design fails uniformity (Uo) or glare (UGR) ratings. You can submit a "Lighting Report" to a client that proves compliance line by line.

At its core, Dialux Pro is about integration. The headline feature is its native support for Open BIM through the IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) file format. This allows users to import 3D building models directly from other planning software, eliminating the tedious and error-prone task of manual geometry recreation in DIALux evo. Once the lighting design is complete, the planning result, complete with luminaire placements and configurations, can be exported back as a 3D lighting model in the IFC format. This seamless data exchange is a key component of a true collaborative BIM workflow, enabling lighting designers to work in harmony with architects, engineers, and other specialists.

You are a lighting engineer, a contractor bidding on a warehouse/ factory, or a designer working on a stadium. If your fee depends on hitting a specific (L_0) (maintenance factor) value, you need Pro.
Unlike freeware versions that limit calculation accuracy or export options, the DIALux Pro tier ensures compliance with international standards (CIE, EN 12464, LEED, and BREEAM). She placed a row of spotlights over the
DIALux Pro is designed to be accessible for a range of users and project needs:
benefits from norm-compliant calculations, realistic visualizations, and tools for creating impressive lighting concepts. DIALux supports line and field arrangements as well as circular luminaire arrangements, providing flexibility for various indoor scenarios.
DIALux Pro goes beyond basic lighting calculations by offering tools tailored for professional documentation and efficient project management. 1. Advanced Documentation and Reporting The hallmark of Pro is its customizable documentation.
Manual transcription of luminaire quantities and codes from PDF documents into pricing spreadsheets is a frequent source of costly project errors. By natively exporting the Bill of Materials to Excel, DIALux Pro eliminates manual data entry, reducing ordering discrepancies and project delays. Target Audience: Who Needs the Pro Version?
