Predictive light calculation
There are many light calculation programmes within the lighting field.
All providing forms of relative outcomes.

It was with a large scale project for the Department of Justice of the Government of Victoria, the full workings of AGi32 became the chosen tool of trade. Undertaking extensive works within the virtual world. It was during the site inspection, using a high performance calibrated light meter, revealed the variant between calculated outcome and the actual to which there was a mere  0.2 of a lux differential. 
This is well below the perceived capability of the human eye.
Requirements of AGi32 - imports 2D or 3D files created in CAD programs that are in DWG or DXF  format.
 ** Sometimes the original CAD (DWG) file cannot be found but there is a pdf. **
There is a solution!
Lux Plot Design can convert a .pdf of the required works to be designed and produce a CAD (DWG) outcome.

Goniophotometer

An instrument for measuring a property of light,
especially luminous intensity or flux.

The NATA accredited photometric outcome is paramount.

Can your supplier provide the true performance of the fixtures?
Not just a mere suggestion!

And do all the fixtures have EMC compliance?

The use of the black Body Radiator
Within the not so distant past, Fluorescent and Metal Halide lighting
dominated the commercial and industrial sector.

Now  we add the new, not as yet commonly understood, LED, OLED and so  on....
In short, the correct colour temperature required should be stipulated within the Brief,
but more importantly within the documentation for tender or purchasing. 

This is where understanding the profile of the Black Body Radiator comes in to true
lighting design.
