Dialux Evo 9 【2026 Update】
Provide clear visual evidence of light distribution, making complex mathematical data easy for clients to comprehend.
The documentation is now split into two main areas, offering more granular control over output selection and presentation: New Design & Layout
Positioning luminaires has become significantly faster and more accurate in DIALux evo 9. The line arrangement tool has been refined, now showing the exact placement and spacing of luminaires live as the designer draws the line. The snapping mechanism has been completely overhauled, introducing new features like a length grid and angle snapping. This allows users to quickly and precisely place luminaires based on DWG backgrounds, where they can now see dimensions and construction direction directly. dialux evo 9
Generate a comprehensive presentation for your clients or electrical contractors. You can export high-resolution 3D ray-traced renderings, CAD files with luminaire positions, and detailed data sheets outlining energy consumption and code compliance. 4. Designing for Standards Compliance
One of the biggest strengths of DIALux evo is its excellent support ecosystem. DIAL GmbH offers a variety of free resources, including: Provide clear visual evidence of light distribution, making
Planning safe and effective lighting for factories and warehouses.
For the student learning lighting design, the free license removes barriers to entry. For the senior engineer, the speed improvements and Scene Manager save hours of redundant work. For the architect, the IFC import ensures that the lighting design is integrated, not added on. You can export high-resolution 3D ray-traced renderings, CAD

| Feature | DIALux evo 8.2 | DIALux evo 9 | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Hard to access, buried within export settings. | Easy access via a dedicated 'Project' tab. | | Luminaire Placement | No visibility of luminaire positions until the line was placed. Snapping tools were basic. | Live visualization of positions while drawing. New, advanced snapping tools (grid & angle) for precision. | | Luminaire Focusing | Required a full project calculation to see the light output of a single adjustable luminaire. | 'Show light visualisation' tool allows you to see output instantly, without calculation. | | Documentation | Required separate reports for each room. | Single, comprehensive room overview for all spaces and their energy data. | | Calculation Method | Standard photon shooter method. | Enhanced method that better handles detailed objects for faster and more realistic results. |
