DIALux 4.8 user training  - Detail information

In this 3-day training course you find out what it is possible to do with DIALux 4.8. Using this software with its high-performance features you can achieve the targets you are aiming for in lighting design. You can produce professional documentation with explicit calculations and good images.

DIALux can do more than you think. With DIALux you can carry out all lighting technology calculations and issue normative documentation to fulfil all the important lighting standards, which is of course taken for granted with lighting technology software. But over and above that it is so easy to create visualizations and animations to gain a photorealistic impression of a room. You can compare different ways of lighting a room and observe the different lighting scenes. And with the variety of outputs provided you can react quite individually to the requirements of the customer.

Here you can see at a glance the benefits of the seminar:

• Learn about all the features and functionalities of DIALux
• Indoor and outdoor lighting
• Practice-oriented exercises with personal and individual support

Our team of committed trainers will lead you through the seminar with their knowledge of lighting design and technical know-how. The training course consists of modules. For each model there is a practical exercise which you work through on your own. Our trainer will of course be there to help whenever you have questions. You can experience a modern training seminar in a professional working environment here in our company – with the movers and shakers from DIALux.
