What is special about DIALux?
DIALux - a planning software for your project presentation. Calculation: latest radiosity procedures, fast and always correct. Results: Results can be printed out or transmitted as a pdf file. Each view and each rendering can be saved as a .jpg file. Interactive 3-D visualization: Simply move around the room. Visualization: Use of textures and furniture for realistic rendering. Photo realism: with integrated raytracing module. False colours: False colours provide quantitative analysis of complex geometries at a glance. Movies: Walk through the photo realistic visualization of your light planning and send the film to your customer via email. Interaction: Import and export: .dwg and .dxf files can be imported and exported with results after completion of the planning process. DIALux Light: Easy to use, step-by-step lighting design.

Online Update
If you have already installed old version of DIALux, you could use online update to newest version. In DIALux you will find a new menu named Online. After selecting Online Update DIALux automatically checks for newer versions of the software and for new online PlugIns. But it will take some time to finish update.

.IES or .Idt files
.IES or .Idt file describe the information of light distribution, luminous flux, and power. .IES or .Idt file are very small ( only about 10K) compared to ray data (about 200M). OSRAM OS provide both .IES (or .Idt) file and ray data of our LED products on website.

Quick Street Planning Wizard
This wizard guides you through the quick planning for streets.
you will find the wizards in the menu File >> Wizard

Street profile and illumination class
Street profile Street name and maintenance factor are likewise inserted on this page. In the following window you can fix the individual or combined valuation fields for the street. In order to define photometric requirements for the street, select an illumination class for every valuation field.

Luminaire arrangement
In the window Luminaire arrangement you can select a luminaire and place this in an arrangement. (You need to import the IES file of OSRAM LEDs first, otherwise you can only select the existing traditional luminaire in DIALux) You can optimize the arrangement parameters depending on the predefined photometric requirements.

Step 1: Collecting road information
Street profile, width, N of lanes, coating
Information list before design: 1. Street location and photos 2. Width of street 3. N of lanes 4. Coating material
Decide the road classification and required Eav and Uo according to street lighting standards
5. Existing mounting height or pole distance?
Information needed for lighting simulation

Step 2: Edit street in DIALux
Arrangement of street component according to the road information.

Step 3: Decide which LED (color bin and brightness group)
CCT: from 5000K-6500K (LW, LUW) If need CCT from 4000K-5000K, can be mixed by LUW and LY.
Golden DRAGON with Oval Lens Golden DRAGON Plus
No need of secondary optical design
Need lens or reflector Higher brightness

Step 4: Change luminous flux
You can change the luminous flux and power here. Its related to how many LEDs in one lamp.

Step 5: luminaire arrangement
Normal methods of luminaire arrangement Single row Double row, opposing Double row, with offset
Uniformity Lighting Class
Single row
W 6m N 2
Double row, with offset
W 8m N 2
Double row, opposing
W 16m N 4
Road information
0.4~0.5
0.5~0.8
0.5~0.8
Rules of thumb
Luminaire arrangement will be decided based on street profile requirements
Figure
For LUW W5JM, Double row, opposing was recommended.

Step 6: Optimize arrangement parameters
Optimize arrangement parameters
(1) Mounting Height: 6m~10m (2) Overhang: 1m~2m (3) Boom Angle: 10~15 (4) Boom Length: 1m~3m (5) Pole Distance
Boom Angle Boom Length
Mounting Height
These parameter will be optimized according to street profile to achieve best performance: Eav and Uo.
Overhang
If a certain Uo was required, the most economic mounting height and pole distance could be optimized. Lower distance, longer pole distance could save energy and pole cost.
