Just when you thought lighting design software couldn’t get any smoother, DIAL GmbH has released of DIALux evo. While it isn't a complete overhaul, this update is packed with smart quality-of-life improvements that will save you minutes on every single task—and those minutes add up fast.
This is where the architectural modeling happens.
is a leading lighting design software used globally by lighting designers, architects, and engineers. Developed by DIAL GmbH, this version represents a significant step forward from the stable evo 9.1 release. It bridges the gap between lighting calculation and architectural modeling, offering a more intuitive interface, enhanced rendering capabilities, and optimized calculation speeds.
Many designers hesitate to move from older versions (like evo 8.x). However, evo 9.2 offers compelling reasons to upgrade:
is not just a calculation tool; it is a comprehensive design environment. By combining accurate photometric calculations with high-quality 3D visualization, it allows lighting designers to sell their ideas effectively while ensuring technical compliance. Whether designing a cozy living room, a complex office floor plan, or an outdoor street lighting scheme, evo 9.2 provides the robust toolset required for modern lighting design.
evo 9.2 improved the interoperability with CAD files. Users can now open DXF/DWG files in a specialized environment to clean up plans and, crucially, edit luminaires directly within this view. This streamlines the transition from architectural plans to lighting models.
This is the core of the design process.
