Pro — Dialux

: Offers a "new method" for importing IFC files that reduces solid modeler operations, improving stability and speed for intricate designs. Professional Reporting

Perhaps the most revolutionary feature of DIALux Pro is its comprehensive support for Building Information Modeling. Users can directly import 3D building model files into DIALux evo and begin lighting design without manually drawing buildings within the software. After completing the design, the full luminaire layout can be exported as 3D luminaire files (IFC) compatible with BIM workflows. This capability fundamentally transforms how lighting fits within the broader architectural design process.

DIALux Pro represents more than just additional features on top of free software. It embodies a philosophical commitment to professional excellence, efficiency, and collaboration. By bridging the gap between high-quality free software and premium advanced functionality, DIALux Pro serves the full spectrum of lighting design needs.

Lighting design is no longer just about placing fixtures in a room to meet basic visibility requirements. Modern architecture demands sustainability, precise aesthetics, and data-driven verification. As the global standard for lighting design software, DIALux has empowered millions of planners worldwide. However, the introduction of elevates the platform from a standard calculation tool to an elite, enterprise-grade workflow solution.

Lighting a soccer stadium is radically different from lighting an office. DIALux Pro includes a dedicated that follows broadcasting standards (like TV lighting for 4K HDR broadcasts). It calculates vertical illuminance ((E_v)) and uniformity for slow-motion cameras—something free software cannot do accurately.

She began dragging luminaires into the 3D model. The software’s library was vast, containing exact photometric data from real manufacturers—not just generic lightbulbs, but the specific architectural spots she had specified in her budget.

While independent designers working on occasional projects will find the free version entirely sufficient, DIALux Pro is tailored for specific industry segments:

Woodwind Instrumentation Codes

Following many of the titles in our Wind Ensemble catalog, you will see a set of numbers enclosed in square brackets, as in this example:

Description Price
Rimsky-Korsakov
Quintet in Bb [1011-1 w/piano]
Item: 26746		 $28.75

The bracketed numbers tell you the precise instrumentation of the ensemble. The first number stands for Flute, the second for Oboe, the third for Clarinet, the fourth for Bassoon, and the fifth (separated from the woodwinds by a dash) is for Horn. Any additional instruments (Piano in this example) are indicated by "w/" (meaning "with") or by using a plus sign.

Flute   Oboe   Clarinet   Bassoon   —   Horn

This woodwind quartet is for 1 Flute, no Oboe, 1 Clarinet, 1 Bassoon, 1 Horn and Piano.

Sometimes there are instruments in the ensemble other than those shown above. These are linked to their respective principal instruments with either a "d" if the same player doubles the instrument, or a "+" if an extra player is required. Whenever this occurs, we will separate the first four digits with commas for clarity. Thus a double reed quartet of 2 oboes, english horn and bassoon will look like this:

0,2+1,0,1-0

Note the "2+1" portion means "2 oboes plus english horn"

Titles with no bracketed numbers are assumed to use "Standard Instrumentation." The following is considered to be Standard Instrumentation:

Brass Instrumentation Codes

Following many of the titles in our Brass Ensemble catalog, you will see a set of five numbers enclosed in square brackets, as in this example:

Description Price
Copland
Fanfare for the Common Man [343.01 w/tympani]
Item: 02158		 $14.95

The bracketed numbers tell you how many of each instrument are in the ensemble. The first number stands for Trumpet, the second for Horn, the third for Trombone, the fourth (separated from the first three by a dot) for Euphonium and the fifth for Tuba. Any additional instruments (Tympani in this example) are indicated by a "w/" (meaning "with") or by using a plus sign.

Trumpet     Horn     Trombone   .   Euphonium     Tuba

Thus, the Copland Fanfare shown above is for 3 Trumpets, 4 Horns, 3 Trombones, no Euphonium, 1 Tuba and Tympani. There is no separate number for Bass Trombone, but it can generally be assumed that if there are multiple Trombone parts, the lowest part can/should be performed on Bass Trombone.

Titles listed in our catalog without bracketed numbers are assumed to use "Standard Instrumentation." The following is considered to be Standard Instrumentation:

People often ask us about "PJBE" or "Philip Jones" instrumentation. This is a special instrumentation adopted and perfected by the Philip Jones Brass Ensemble. It consists of the forces 414.01, and often includes Percussion and/or Tympani. In addition, there are often doublings in the Trumpet section - Piccolo and Flugelhorn being the most common. While this instrumentation has come to be common, it is still not "Standard" as many Brass Dectets use very different forces, most often with more Horns than PJBE.

String Instrumentation Codes

Following many of the titles in our String Ensemble catalog, you will see a set of four numbers enclosed in square brackets, as in this example:

Description Price
Atwell
Vance's Dance [0220]
Item: 32599		 $8.95

These numbers tell you how many of each instrument are in the ensemble. The first number stands for Violin, the second for Viola, the third for Cello, and the fourth for Double Bass. Thus, this string quartet is for 2 Violas and 2 Cellos, rather than the usual 2110. Titles with no bracketed numbers are assumed to use "Standard Instrumentation." The following is considered to be Standard Instrumentation:
