Lighting Design

In large or commercial spaces that require extensive lighting, photometric analysis plays a crucial role in ensuring optimal illumination. It enables architects and lighting designers to assess whether a space receives sufficient light by evaluating key factors such as brightness, intensity, uniformity, and overall distribution. Additionally, photometric studies aid in cost estimation and facilitate the planning of electrical requirements, ensuring both efficiency and compliance with industry standards.

A photometric study examines the behavior of light itself rather than just the characteristics of a specific lighting fixture. Also referred to as photometric analysis, this process focuses on how light is emitted from a fixture and distributed throughout its environment. Utilizing advanced computer simulations, photometric studies provide valuable insights for professionals in lighting design and fixture development, allowing them to create well-lit, functional, and aesthetically pleasing spaces.
