A leader in providing reliable and powerful software solutions for the architectural lighting industry, specializing in photometric calculations.
AGi32 is a comprehensive software tool developed by Lighting Analysts for lighting design and analysis. It’s widely used by lighting professionals, including engineers, lighting designers, architects, and manufacturers, to predict and visualize the performance of lighting systems for various applications, both indoor and outdoor.
At the heart of AGi32 lies its powerful ability to perform precise photometric calculations. Whether you’re designing interior spaces or illuminating vast outdoor areas, AGi32 delivers accurate point-by-point illuminance readings, along with crucial metrics like luminance, glare ratings, and daylight factors. AGi32 offers two calculation methods: the Direct Only method, ideal for exterior applications like site, roadway, and sports lighting, which considers only direct light from luminaires; and the Full Radiosity method, essential for interior environments, indirect lighting, and daylighting, which computes the interaction of light and surfaces, producing realistic renderings.
AGi32 offers the flexibility to bring your lighting concepts to life in multiple ways. Utilize the integrated 3D modeling tools to construct architectural spaces with ease, defining walls, floors, and intricate shapes. Seamlessly integrate your existing designs by importing 2D and 3D CAD drawings from industry-standard software like AutoCAD. This interoperability ensures a smooth workflow, allowing you to focus on optimizing your lighting design within the context of your architectural plans.
AGi32 empowers you with access to a wealth of luminaire performance information. Effortlessly import standard photometric data files from manufacturers in IES, EULUMDAT, and CIBSE formats. Extend your reach with direct access to Instabase, Lighting Analysts’ extensive online library, providing a vast repository of up-to-date photometric data. This ensures you’re working with accurate and reliable information to drive your lighting design decisions. AGi32 uses this data for photometric calculations to predict light distribution and performance.
Go beyond numbers and truly experience your lighting design with AGi32’s advanced rendering engine. Based on full radiosity photometric calculations, the software generates photometrically accurate color visualizations, allowing you to see precisely how light will interact within the designed space. For enhanced realism in specific views, the post-radiosity ray tracing engine adds stunning reflections and shadows. This powerful visualization capability is invaluable for communicating your design intent to clients and stakeholders with clarity and impact.
AGi32 is a well-established and respected software in the lighting industry, known for its accuracy, comprehensive features, and powerful visualization capabilities. It empowers lighting professionals to design, analyze, and present their lighting solutions effectively for a wide range of applications.
