Configure system luminaires individually and use directly in the planning process with the ULD Custom Generator
ULD is the best data format for importing a luminaire into DIALux. Compared with conventional photometric formats such as IES or LDT, ULD files include many more features and much more product information so that data quality and calculation results can be substantially improved. Very complex luminaires can be shown, e.g. those consisting of several parts or light emissions.
The ULD service provides you with the opportunity to create ULDs dynamically. This is particularly suitable for configurable luminaires which consist of freely selectable parts and can be sold in different configurations. The lighting designer can assemble a complex luminaire from a DIALux Premium partner himself and then create the ULD file immediately.
LED lighting strips whose length output, radiation angle and light colour are configurable present the end customer with a real challenge in choice when trying to gain an overview of available products. A catalogue including all pre-assembled ULDs would provide far too much to choose from. As soon as the designer has assembled the product on the manufacturer's website, he can export the finished system as an ULD and send it to DIALux.
The benefit is easy to see: the system luminaire can be used directly in DIALux with the correct values and the correct appearance. A classic database with ULDs in every possible combination would be practically impossible because of the huge number of possible combinations of system luminaires.
A further benefit of such a ULD Custom Generator is that the price of the configured luminaire is available immediately so that it is possible not only to plan with individual solutions but also according to a fixed budget.
PERFORMANCE iN LIGHTING already uses this configurator on its "LIGHT-PERFORMER" site.
