With Dialux, you can simulate any lighting system in different types of environments or outdoor scenarios and be sure that the lighting design meets the required lighting parameters according to the established standards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For Latin America, it does not have many libraries of the luminaires that can be found in the current market, therefore at some point you have to look for similar luminaires to perform the simulations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most is that I was able to prepare realistic nocturnal interior renders, with a big lamp library to choose from and 3D compatibility to include furniture models. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Drawing the perimeter of an area and modeling the structural elements of a building can be challenging at times Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

DIALux is a reliable, flexible planning SW, to calculate, plan and visualise light for indoor and outdoor areas. DIALux is open to extend for new luminaires, not only their partners. Like the idea of the Community where you can connect and share experiences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It takes a little time to familiarize yourself with all the features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Right now it can perfectly support importing BIM files (IFC) to Dialux, saving a lot of time in building 3D models, which is a nice function now. It never stops its steps to collect lighting system manufacturers, allowing you to make many options for your products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For newcomers, it is not easy to build 3D models, but if you are already familiar with 3D modeling steps, it will become easy for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

DIALux helps you to create energy efficient and sustainable lighting 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.

easy to use and learn, good features and straightforward Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

not enough time to do a full calculation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
