Title: The Midnight Calibration
The release of evo 9 signals a clear direction: Lighting design is moving toward real-time simulation. We are seeing the convergence of CAD, BIM, and rendering engines. In the future (likely evo 10 or 11), we can expect VR (Virtual Reality) integration where clients can "walk" through their lit space with a Meta Quest headset. dialux evo 9
Challenge: Achieve 500 lux at desk level with UGR < 19 while complying with circadian lighting standards. Dialux evo 9 Solution: The "Daylight" calculation engine in evo 9 now accounts for venetian blinds and dynamic shading. The designer ran a "Annual Lighting Simulation" (1-year timeline) in 90 minutes, proving that the lighting control system would save 60% energy. Title: The Midnight Calibration The Future: What DIALux
: Designers can now view the light output of a single selected luminaire in real-time without running a full project calculation. This feature is particularly useful for quickly focusing spotlights or adjusting downlight orientations. Pro Layout Features Case Study 2: Open Plan Office Challenge: Achieve
DIALux evo 9 underwent a massive "facelift." The user interface was flattened and modernized to improve usability.
DIALux evo 9 , released in April 2020 , marked a major shift toward professional-grade documentation and streamlined calculation workflows for lighting designers. Key Improvements and Features Redesigned Documentation
