Dialux Pro ((top)) Full 🚀

DIALux Pro is the premium subscription version of the world-leading DIALux evo lighting design software, designed to enhance productivity through advanced data interfaces and BIM integration. While the core planning and calculation functions of DIALux evo remain free, the Pro version adds high-end features for professional designers who require seamless workflows with other disciplines.  Key Professional Features  DIALux Pro

Core concepts (must-know)

• IES/LLC files: Photometric data for fixtures; critical for accurate results.
• Reflectances: Ceiling/wall/floor reflectance values strongly affect illuminance.
• Room recognition: Dialux can auto-recognize rooms from geometry—check and correct.
• Calculation grid: Density determines precision; typical spacing = 0.5–1.0 m for interiors.
• UGR (Unified Glare Rating): Use for office/visual comfort compliance.
• Maintenance factor: Apply to account for lamp lumen depreciation and dirt.

2. The Raytracing Engine

Do not use the standard OpenGL view. Switch to "Raytracing Quality: High." In the full version, you can control photon mapping, caustics, and light scattering. This allows you to generate images that are indistinguishable from photographs of the built space. Clients buy these renders. dialux pro full

3. CAD & BIM Integration

The full version acts as a native BIM tool. DIALux Pro is the premium subscription version of

• Import: Revit (RVT), SketchUp, IFC, DWG.
• Export: Export your lighting design back into Revit with all parameters intact.
• The limitation? The free version often restricts these high-end exports to watermarked or simplified versions. The full version removes these locks.

4. Street and Outdoor Lighting

While interior design is a major focus, DIALux is the gold standard for road lighting. It automatically checks compliance with standards like EN 13201, calculating glare (TI) and uniformity (U0) for highways, residential streets, and pedestrian zones. Core concepts (must-know)

The Feature Gap: What the "Full" Version Unlocks

If you are currently using Dialux Evo, here is exactly what you gain by upgrading to the Dialux Pro "full" experience:

• CAD Import (DWG/DXF): Evo allows basic geometry. Pro allows you to import full architectural DWG floor plans from AutoCAD and place luminaires directly onto the architect's layout.
• BIM Integration (Building Information Modeling): Export your lighting design natively to Revit (RFA/RVT) and IFC files.
• Automatic Emergency Lighting: The "full" version includes a module that automatically calculates escape routes, emergency luminaire placement, and battery backup duration according to international standards (EN 1838, ISO 30061).
• High-End Rendering: While Evo has good renders, Pro uses a physically based Raytracing engine that produces photorealistic images suitable for client presentations and marketing material.
• Report Branding: Remove the Dialux watermark and add your company logo, custom headers, and tailored calculation protocols.
• Unlimited Project Size: Evo may slow down with large scenes (e.g., a sports stadium). Pro handles millions of light sources and polygons without lag.

4.1 Project Management

DIALux allows for complex project hierarchies:

• Site & Building: Defining geographical location (importing satellite maps) to calculate sunlight/daylight harvesting.
• Rooms & Floors: Defining surface properties (reflectance, color, texture).
• Furniture & Objects: Importing 3D models (3DS, SAT, GLTF formats) to check for obstructions and shadows.

3. DALI & KNX Integration

For smart building projects, Dialux Pro (full) includes a plugin to export lighting scenes directly to DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) control systems. You can calculate the energy savings of daylight harvesting and presence detection within the software.
