Abstract
A method and system for designing a lighting installation. The system includes a processor for executing the method, which includes generating lighting area input data signals based on selected parameters associated with a lighting area, and generating luminaire input data signals based on selected parameters associated with a luminaire. The method also includes processing the lighting area input data signals to obtain a lighting area factor, and processing the luminaire input data signals to obtain a photometry factor. The method also includes processing the lighting area factor and the photometry factor to determine a light level value in the lighting area, and generating a light level output signal based on the light level value determined. The system and method further include a system and method for manipulating data three-dimensionally in a spatial view on a video monitor.
