Calculation of illuminance, luminance, light distribution curve

A fundamental service in lighting simulation is the calculation of illuminance, luminance and light distribution curves. These quantitative analyses are essential to ensure and optimize the effectiveness and efficiency of lighting systems.

Our range of services includes the implementation of:

  • Measurement and analysis of illuminance
  • Determination of luminance

Measurement and analysis of illuminance
The first step involves the precise measurement and analysis of illuminance, i.e. how much light hits a surface. This is crucial for ensuring sufficient and uniform lighting in different environments.

Determining the luminance
We calculate the luminance, which indicates how bright a light source or illuminated surface appears to the human eye. This measurement is particularly important for evaluating the visual quality and comfort of lighting scenarios.
