EasyLux – Quick calculator

Calculate simple rooms quickly and easily with your luminaires, taking into account the relevant standard.

Automatic placement saves time and shows various options.

 

 

Placing luminaires

Let ReluxNet place luminaires automatically and see how your room looks in no time at all. Define measurement areas and visualise the lighting effect using a false colour display.

3D room scanner Metaroom for Relux

The Metaroom app allows you to digitise your rooms quickly and easily. Windows, furnitures and objects including light sources* are detected. You can export your scan result as a ReluxDesktop file and start your lighting planning.

Road mass calculation

Street lighting for beginners: define streets with different numbers of lanes. The integrated optimisation function assists in finding the ideal product or variant, whether for an energy-optimized solution or maximising the pole distance between installations.

Sport fields

Planning sports venues, from recreational facilities to Olympic stadiums, is simplified with integrated features in modern software. One key feature enables effortless creation and mirroring of spotlight groups, ensuring uniform illumination. The software offers a suite of tools for precise, detailed planning, catering to diverse user groups, from elite athletes to leisure enthusiasts. Specific needs and guidelines, such as accessibility and lighting standards, are seamlessly addressed.

Tunnel

Draw up tunnel calculations on the basis of the current standards. The application will position your luminaires automatically using the specifications and values you enter, thus ensuring compliance with the standards.

Roundabout

With the roundabout feature in ReluxDesktop, you can plan the lighting of roundabouts easily an d efficiently. Create compliant lighting plans for roundabouts with precise calculation of lighting values (luminance, illuminance, uniformity, and glare limitation).

Pedestrian crossing

Ensure the compliance of your crosswalks with national guidelines using ReluxDesktop. Our software supports various national standards, including DIN 67523-1/2 06:2010, prSLG 202:2016, and UNI/TS 11726:2018, to ensure your crosswalk designs meet all safety and regulatory requirements.

3D real-time renderer powered by Enscape

Revolutionise lighting planning with photorealistic visualisations. Enscape’s real-time renderer provides even more details and enables a smooth display in real time. It is possible to move the camera freely in the scenes using a mouse and keyboard or even a game console controller.  Enscape has a daylight sky model and can visualise transparency with reflections in real time. Adjustments to the lighting in ReluxDesktop (turning, dimming and changing position) are displayed in real time in a separate Enscape window, enabling an immediate visual assessment.

Dynamic planning

The dynamic planning mode is developed and optimised for the fast calculation of interior or exterior scenes.  The main menu dynamic planning offers in addition the option to show the luminance distribution. It is also possible to display reflections in glass.

Universal false colour palette

The false colour scale runs uniformly through all views and outputs, allowing direct comparisons and analyses. Of course, the colours, the values and also the scope of the display can be changed.

3d library and 3d import formats

Enhance your plans by importing 3D formats such as 3DS, DAE, FBX, OBJ, DXF and R3D. Further improvements have been made in the textures. 

Over 1000 3D objects are available in the ReluxNet database for free use in ReluxDesktop.

Emergency ribbon

We have comprehensively redesigned the existing emergency lighting functions in ReluxDesktop and added new practical features. All the emergency lighting settings can now be selected and edited directly in the navigation bar. This enables you to work more efficiently through integral planning of the emergency lighting situation.

Live results

Activating the "LiveResults" element shows you in real time the results for emergency-enabled luminaires in a selected emergency lighting area. This tool enables rapid and direct planning. This is especially the case when luminaires for normal lighting are also used for emergency lighting. In the “View” menu option, you can switch to a full false colour view and obtain more detailed results in real time.

Auto placement

Emergency lights can now be placed automatically in “anti-panic” areas and along emergency escape routes. ReluxDesktop calculates the correct quantity and positioning of the luminaires and puts them in place with a click of the mouse. The default illumination level corresponds to EN 1838 and can be changed to any other illumination level. Thus, you benefit from huge time savings when calculating emergency lighting.

Visibility range tool

Using the visibility range tool, you can easily evaluate the number and position of all emergency luminaires on the basis of EN 1838. When the visibility range tool is activated, the visibility range can be seen directly when modifying the values or moving the luminaire.

Presence, radial and tangential motion detection

As the only software, ReluxDesktop enables planning with sensors that can be directly retrieved from the extensive RELUX member product database. The software maps motion detection areas (presence, tangential, or radial) in detail in 2D and 3D. This allows you to professionally plan the placement of your sensors and ensure optimal room coverage and energy efficiency.

Sensor integration in luminaires

ReluxDesktop allows for the consideration of both standalone sensors and combined or integrated sensors in luminaires during planning.

sensLAB – Putting motion and presence sensors to the test

The Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS) serves as the federal centre of competence for all issues related to measurement and for measuring equipment and measuring procedures.
The sensor measurement is performed according to IEC 63180 and sensNORM. Measurement according to sensNORM is more demanding, as it is more difficult to achieve. Whether the industry will measure according to IEC or sensNORM remains to be seen. Relux is the only software worldwide that offers the possibility to calculate sensors.
