Dialux 43 ((free)) Guide

However, I am an AI text model and cannot directly run DIALux software (evo or 4.3) or generate a calculated lighting report from a .dli or .evox project file.

To get a valid DIALux 4.3 report, you need to generate it inside the software itself. Here is how to do it:

Complete your design (added luminaires, calculated the scene via F6).
Go to File > Print (or Report).
Select outputs (false color images, isolux diagrams, value tables, etc.).
Export as PDF or HTML.

If you meant something else by "dialux 43", please clarify:

Did you mean DIALux 4.3 (the legacy version)?
Do you have a specific project calculation file you want me to analyze (paste text data)?
Are you asking for a sample report template for DIALux 4.3 (text structure)?

Example of a mock summary I can provide (if you give me your room size, luminaire type, and lux results):

Lighting Report (Mock for DIALux 4.3) Room: Office (10m x 8m x 3m) Maintained Illuminance: 500 lx Uniformity (U0): 0.72 UGR: <19 Luminaire: LED Panel 600x600mm (4,000 lm) Quantity: 12 units dialux 43

Please provide your specific project data or clarify your request so I can help correctly.

DIALux 4.3 is a legacy version of the professional lighting design software developed by DIAL GmbH. Released in early 2008, it served as a critical update in the DIALux 4 series, introducing advanced daylighting simulations and enhanced 3D visualization tools for its time. Key Features and Capabilities

Advanced Daylighting: Introduced daylighting calculations using CIE models, allowing for simulations under clear, overcast, or cloudy sky conditions.

GUI Enhancements: The version saw significant interface updates, including new calculation objects, colored ground plans, and improved building geometry tools. However, I am an AI text model and

Visual Analysis: Added "traffic light" indicators to verify if specified lighting values were met and false-color scales for quick visual identification of light distribution.

Standards Compliance: Integrated EN 12464-1 and ROVL/NPR 13201 norms for indoor and street lighting planning.

Calculation Surfaces: Enabled the separate presentation of results for 12464-1 surfaces within room summaries and the ability to toggle individual surfaces on/off. Technical Specifications Requirement / Detail Operating System Windows XP, Vista (Legacy) Minimum Hardware 1.4 GHz CPU, 1 GB RAM (recommended for smooth operation) Architecture 32-bit application Language Support Multi-language interface, including 26+ major languages DIALux: All versions - Software Informer

5. City Management (Outdoor)

For streets, Dialux 4.3 includes a "Street" wizard. You define the road width, pole spacing, mounting height, and overhang. The software calculates the luminance (cd/m²) and uniformity (U0) according to CIE 140 or EN 13201 standards. Complete your design (added luminaires, calculated the scene

4. The Evaluation

Press F6 to open the calculation surface. Here you can:

Create UGR (Unified Glare Rating) tables.
Generate pseudo-color rendering (the iconic red/yellow/green/blue maps).
Calculate point-by-point illuminance.

Step 5: View Results

Falsecolor render (luminance/illuminance maps)
Isolines (lux plots)
3D view (OpenGL)
Numerical table (check uniformity, glare UGR, etc.)

Step 2: Define the Room / Area

Interior:
Insert → Room → Enter length, width, height.
Define surface reflectances (ceiling, walls, floor – critical for accuracy).
Exterior (Street):
Insert → Street → Use the street wizard (road geometry, pole positions).

2. Introducing DIALux 43

The DIALux 43 is a sleek, portable control surface (approx. 43cm width) featuring a high-resolution multi-touch screen surrounded by tactile rotary encoders. It runs on a proprietary OS called LumiCore v4.3.

Its primary innovation is Photodynamic Computation. Unlike traditional consoles that treat a light fixture as a simple channel of intensity (0-100%), the DIALux 43 treats every fixture as a physics object.

Input: The console accepts standard DIALux project files (.dlf) and IES photometric files.
Processing: It calculates the inter-reflections of light on room surfaces in real-time.
Output: It drives the fixtures via Art-Net or sACN.
