Indoor and outdoor lighting layouts bring room design, fixture placement, and illumination calculations into one project. DIALux Evo lets designers model spaces, work with real luminaires, and view how the planned lighting appears.
Building a lighting project
Start by creating individual rooms or a larger building model, then arrange spaces and define the areas that need lighting. DIALux Evo also supports outdoor layouts such as paths, parking areas, and streets, so a project can include both a building and its surroundings.
For fixture selection, the program provides access to real luminaires from DIALux members. Choosing actual products lets the lighting plan reflect the equipment intended for the project, while the model provides a basis for calculating and viewing the result.
What can DIALux Evo calculate and show?
The workflow brings lighting design, calculation, and visualization together. Calculations let designers assess illumination in the modeled space; visualizations show how the arrangement may look. This connects technical planning with a view of the finished lighting scheme.
The scope includes indoor and outdoor lighting, plus street and emergency lighting. That range supports projects from individual rooms to exterior areas, with the relevant spaces and fixtures represented in the same design process.
- Create individual rooms and multi-storey buildings
- Plan lighting for paths, car parks, and streets
- Work with real luminaires provided by DIALux members
From modeled spaces to a lighting view
A typical project moves from defining the spaces to placing luminaires, calculating illumination, and inspecting the visualization. Changes to the layout can then be evaluated in the context of the modeled area, which is especially relevant when planning several rooms or combining indoor and outdoor spaces.
DIALux Evo is centered on lighting design: the building or exterior area provides the project context, and the selected luminaires inform the calculation and visual output. The result gives designers a way to review both the planned illumination and its appearance before the layout is finalized.
