Right now it can perfect surpport import BIM files(IFC) to dialux, it can save a lot of time to build 3d modeling , that is a nice function now. It never stop their steps to collect lighting system manufatures, you can do a lot of options of your products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
For newer is not easy to building 3D modeling, but if you have already been familar with 3D modeling working steps, it will become easy for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
DIALux helps you to create energy efficient and sustainable lghting designs, you can also look up how the lighting will work in real world in 3D, DIALux helps to design lighting for wide range of areas such as office, mall, warehouse, stadiums etc. last but not the least it helps you to save costs on lighting Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It should be integrated with BIM. Effect of natural daylight into a closed space (such as warehouse, factory) should also be added. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Its the most widely used Lighting calculation software, which provides excellent output. The simulation time is very quick unlike other competitors. Food for indoor as well as outdoor lighting simulations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It has not very user friendly interface, and the architecture / buildings has to be manually drawn before running the calculations. Theres no way to interface directly with available 3D models, from Revit or Navisworks or IFC etc.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I was able to get up and running on Dialux within just a few hours. Online resources were easy to leverage for quick use and adaption into the system. I was able to quickly learn to import AUTOCAD and Revit drawings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some of the functions are a little difficult to find. Once you learn them, though, it's pretty snappy! I wish I could scale photometrics maps to PDFs a little more easily Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The best part of DIAlUx is you can use and download this software and all plugins without cost. You can use it for personal, educational, and commercial purposes. It serves the purpose of lighting calculation to reach a suitable illuminance level for the intended application. It's easy to use. Also, it can adapt to the lighting standards of 26 countries around the world. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As Dialux is the free software for lighting calculation but some luminaires could lead to problems with the lighting calculation. Also, it requires large memory storage. Your graphics card should have its memory and not use a shared memory Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
DIALux is free of charge and easy to use/learn. You can easily find manufacturers' luminaire profiles or import IES files Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Lack of integrations such as 3D models/files, not able to change the shape of the luminaries. The false-color scale is also very difficult to understand and adjust Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
VERY HELPFU IN MAKING LIGHTING DESIGN FOR ANY TIME OF BUILDING AND ALSO THE DESING IS IMPLEMENTED USING REALTIME SINERIO AND ITS EASY TO SEE WHAT WILL BE THE PROBLENMS BEFORE ORDERING MATERIAL REAL TIME AT SITE. IT GIVE A BROAD VIEW OF THE MY WORK BEFORE PRESENTING IT TO THE CLIENT AND GIVE ME CONFODENCE ON WHAT I AM RECOMMENDING TO THE CLIENT. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
THE THING WHICH I DISLIKE THE MOST ABOUT THE DILUX IS IT LIGHTING SELECTION FROM DIFFERENT MANUFACTURE AND IS ONLY GOOD AND FIT FOR THE DEVELOP COUNTRIES BUT IN SOUTHASIAN COUNTRIES WHERE THEIR IS PROBLEM OF DIFFERENT MANUFACTURER LIMITED LIGHT FIXTURE AVAILABILITY IS THAT IF WE CONDISERED SOME LIGHT FROM DIALUX LIGHT FIXTURE CATALOG I MAY OR MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE .SO BEFORE MAKING ANY DESIGN I HAVE TO CONSIDERED THAT LIGHT THAT I AM PROPOSING FOR SOME CLIENT IS EASILY AVAILABLE IN THE MARKET.OFFCOURSE DIALUX HAS NOT TO DOMUCH WITH THIS PROBLEM BUT THEY CAN HELP IN THIS REGARDS.
SO BASICALLY ITS A OBSERVATION FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE SOFTWARE USEFULL NESS AND INDUSTRY PROBLEM THAT ANY LIGHTING DESIGNING FACE IN UNDER DEVELOP COUNTRY. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
