Accomplishments

We can calculate lighting from paper plans or from AutoCAD designs. In addition to obtaining technical and statistical results, we generate synthesized images to represent the appearance of the final result.
We can also generate an image that is transposed in pseudo color so as to illustrate the light distribution accurately.

Indoor architectural lighting

The goal of this project was to replace the 200w incandescent lights in the entrances of this prestigious complex (3 towers) by more efficient lighting, without changing lighting levels or the light effect originally intended by the architect.

The lamps were replaced by 50w and 100w metallic halogen sources,
which served to maintain the initial appearance and level of lighting while:
  • Increasing energy savings by more than 75%

  • Obtaining a $14,000 subsidy from Hydro-Québec

  • Ensuring substantial savings for maintenance

Industrial lighting
Comparison between a 1000w HM light for a very high installation and a T5 fluorescent device.
This simulation demonstrates the increase in vertical lighting and in uniformity with the use of the T5 fluorescent light, while reducing energy consumption compared to the energy required by a 1000w MH.
 
Landscape lighting
Simulation illustrating the effect of adding accent lights
  • 70w MH lamps installed in the palm trees

  • Lamps embedded in the ground

  • Bollard-type light
