Analyze, Convert, and Validate Photometric Data

Essential utilities for checking manufacturer lighting files, converting between formats, and ensuring data accuracy before use in your designs.

What is Photometric Toolbox?

Designed as a standalone software application, Photometric Toolbox is a versatile tool that enables lighting professional and manufacturers to work directly with luminaire data. It enables users to create, evaluate, convert, and report on this essential data that is commonly found in IES, EULUMDAT (LDT), and CIBSE TM-14 formats.

Visualize and Analyze any Photometric File Format

Whether you’re working with IES, LDT, or other industry-standard formats, Photometric Toolbox brings photometric files to life in 2D and 3D visualizations It reveals the true light distribution while also providing you deep insights into fixture performance data. Evaluate beam angles, intensity distributions, and efficiency ratings to ensure every specification meets your project’s exact requirements.

Seamless Photometric File Conversion Across Multiple Formats

Eliminate file compatibility headaches with the powerful Convert Tool within Photometric Toolbox that ensures seamless transitions between multiple data formats (IES, LDT, and CIBSE) and it even adjusts testing positions and photometric web densities. Make confident luminaire selections with our Compare Tool that allows for side-by-side analysis of up to three sets of luminaire data based on your criteria. No more compatibility headaches, just smooth workflows that keep projects moving forward.
