DIALux is a 3D graphics software for lighting design developed by DIAL GmbH[1] in Lüdenscheid, Germany. The main task is planning, calculating and visualising light for indoor and outdoor areas. Numerous lamp and luminaire manufacturers offer plug-ins for their products that make the beam characteristics available in the DIALux application. The software is available free of charge via the manufacturer's website.[2] Individual rooms, multi-storey buildings, paths, car parks, streets and landscapes can be created, planned and simulated.

Visualization of daylight wih DIALux
The possibilities are not limited. An Aircraft cabin lighting design[3] with DIALux evo is possible as well as the lighting design for a hotel.[4] It was used in the lighting design for the Alte Pinakothek in Munich or for the UNESCO World Heritage Site Imperial Palace of Goslar (Kaiserpfalz Goslar).[5][6] The software can also be used, for example, for planning tasks such as the optimal lighting of artworks in a gallery.[7][8][9] The Project Showroom [10] in the DIALux Community provides an interesting insight into further possible use cases.
3D models created with DIALux can be rendered with the raytracer POV-Ray. Among other things, the lighting design of sports facilities or the design of emergency lighting according to DIN EN 1838 is supported. Newer versions support the implementation of energy assessments in accordance with DIN V 18599 and EN 15193, as required for energy performance certificates.

History
editDIAL was founded in 1989 as German Institute for Applied Lighting Technology. Since then, the company has been involved in software development, lighting technology, lighting design and building automation. DIAL has further locations in Italy, the USA and Taiwan.
The first version of DIALux was released in 1994. The program was further developed over the next few years and many new functions were added until version DIALux 4.1 was finally created. DIALux evo was announced as the successor and released for use in 2012. The DIALux evo version that was then released is based on a completely new graphics engine, a new interface and new functions. As many designers were still very used to the previous version of the program, it could still be downloaded from the company's website for a while to make the transition from DIALux 4 to DIALux evo easier. DIALux evo has now established itself and has many more functions than the previous version. The DIALux evo version 12.0 is available in 26 languages and has several hundred luminaire manufacturers in its database.[1]
DIAL sucessfully completed several Joined Research Projects with the Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics (IBP). The results are intended to help improve the energy saving potential of lighting projects through the program.[11] [12]
