This is where a good lighting simulation specialist becomes a major asset. It's all about ensuring, before you plug anything in, that your lighting plan will look flawless in the field. No more guesswork, no more costly rework.
But how do you find a simulation professional who understands your construction site reality and delivers concrete results? We'll give you the keys to making the right choice.
1. Tools matter… but lighting simulation expertise even more!
A good lighting specialist masters his tools. We are talking here about cutting-edge software like DIALux or AGi32 . These are the ones that allow you to:
Visualize the light before even installing anything: no more surprises!
Respect standards and recommendations (such as the famous IES ): for safe and efficient lighting.
Get a hyper-realistic rendering : you will know exactly what to expect.
Our tip: Ask to see past case studies ! This will give you a concrete idea of their work and the quality of their reports. And for those who are curious, our page dedicated to photometry tells you more!
2. A specialist who speaks your language (and your sector)
Lighting a warehouse, an agricultural greenhouse, or a shop is three different worlds! Before you get started, check that it already has:
Worked on lighting simulation projects similar to yours.
Understand your specific constraints : ceiling height, humidity, industry standards, etc. Every detail counts!
3. Smart lighting: maximize your return on investment!
A simulation isn't just about knowing if the lighting is good enough. It's also a great way to optimize your costs and increase your return on investment (ROI) ! A lighting expert is also a skilled strategist who will know how to:
Evaluate your ROI : It should be able to give you an estimate of how long it will take to make your new lighting profitable.
Inform you about grants : He knows the financial aid available for energy efficiency projects. Don't miss out on these grants!
Recommend the right equipment : High-performance lighting that fits your budget and goals is key.

4. Precision on the field: when detail makes all the difference
Sometimes, a simple plan isn't enough. Especially when the architecture is complex or precision is vital. The best specialists go further and offer:
On-site surveys : For accurate measurements and ultra-detailed analysis.
Using drones or photometric sensors : Ideal for mapping large areas such as a giant warehouse or an agricultural field.
Professional shots : These help create an accurate base model and assess how materials reflect light. It's a professional touch!
5. Clear deliverables and perfect follow-up!
A good simulation report is not an indigestible novel. It must be:
Readable and comprehensive : With photometric plans, lighting curves... everything you need to successfully complete the installation.
Recommendation-driven : The goal is to guide you in choosing, positioning and sizing your lighting fixtures.
With post-delivery follow-up : Because projects evolve! Support for adjustments or subsequent questions is a real plus.
6. Responsiveness: your ally in case of unforeseen events
Projects are rarely a smooth ride. A good specialist should be able to adapt, answer your questions, and adjust their simulations in the blink of an eye. Ask:
The average time for a photometric study.
Their flexibility to accommodate last-minute changes or respond to unexpected constraints. Responsiveness is gold!
Don't let doubts creep into your construction sites. You now have the keys to choosing the right simulation partner.

A photometric report can sometimes seem intimidating, but it's primarily a tool designed to facilitate your lighting choices. Understanding this document will allow you to optimize your installations, better comply with lighting standards, and convince your clients of the relevance of your LED solutions. In this article, we will review the main elements that make up a photometric report and how to interpret them effectively.
Key elements of a report photometric analysis
1.Isolux curves ( or false colors)
False colors orisolux curves show the distribution of illumination (expressed in lux) on a given surface (floor, work surface, wall, etc.).
Practical reading : Observe whether the most frequented areas (workstations, passageways) reach the recommended lux levels ( For example, between 300 and 500 lux in offices, or 750 lux for a mechanic's garage)
Optimization : If certain areas are underlit or overlit, consider repositioning the luminaires or choosing an appropriate wattage.
2. The total luminous flux (in lumens )
Indicated in lumens, the total luminous flux measures the quantity of light emitted by the luminaire.
Comparison : Adjust this value to the actual needs of your project. For example, a warehouse will require a much higher flow rate than a meeting room or a small business.
LED Choice : LED luminaires are often distinguished by a high luminous flux combined with low consumption.
3. Luminous efficacy (in lumens per watt )
Luminous efficacy quantifies the energy performance of a luminaire.
Example : A 120 lm/W luminaire is more economical to use than an 80 lm/W model.
LED Advantage : LED solutions offer some of the best luminous efficiencies on the market today, enabling substantial energy savings.
4. Color temperature (CCT)
Expressed in Kelvin (K), color temperature directly influences the ambiance and functionality of a space.
Warm light (2700K-3000K) : Intimate and friendly atmosphere, ideal for restaurants, hotels or residential living rooms.
Cool light (4000K-5000K) : Promotes concentration and visibility, perfect for offices, workshops or industrial environments.
For better uniformity and visual rendering, it is preferable to maintain the same color temperatures in adjacent spaces, or for example in all exterior lighting of the building.
5. Light fixture location plan
Our analysis always includes a plan showing the exact location of each proposed luminaire . This plan is essential for the implementation of your lighting project. It allows you to precisely visualize the layout of the equipment, ensure installation complies with specifications and guarantee that the light distribution meets the objectives established in the isolux curves.
Steps to analyze a photometric report
Define your goals:
What is the main purpose of lighting: functional, aesthetic, or both?
What lux levels are required by your space or professional standards? You can rely on the standards indicated in the report.
Examine the luminous flux and efficacy. Check whether the quantity of light (in lumens) and the efficiency (lm/W) match your expectations and energy constraints.
Analyze false colors and location plan:
Identify any areas of shadow or overexposure on the isolux curves.
Consider following the orientation, power, and layout of the luminaires suggested in the report, which represents the optimal lighting solution proposed by our experts.
Evaluate the light characteristics:
Color Temperature (CCT) : Consider the desired ambiance for each space.
Lighting uniformity : Essential for visual comfort. Refer to the results E avg / min And E my x / min as well as the recommended standards, which you will find in the "Calculation Objects" section of the report.
Compare multiple options (if applicable):
If you are hesitating between several lighting fixtures or scenarios, put their specificities into perspective to make an informed choice aligned with your objectives.
Remember to include long-term energy costs in your assessment.
Expert advice: For all these elements, consult our lighting specialists. They are trained to offer you the best solutions, both financially and visually, while scrupulously respecting the recommended standards for rendering and uniformity.
Why it is essential to know how to read a photometric report
Optimize your choices : A well-interpreted photometric report prevents you from investing in inadequate luminaires, thus reducing costs and potential returns.
Meet standards : Ensure you meet regulatory and industry requirements, a guarantee of credibility and professionalism.
Convince your clients : As a professional, a well-explained photometric report builds trust and demonstrates the relevance of your proposals, particularly during projects where precision and performance are essential.
