Lighting CAD & 3D Simulation

Accurate lighting layouts and 3D simulations that allow you to see, measure and refine performance before installation.

Design with Confidence

From architectural plans to coordinated lighting solutions, backed by measurable performance.

At LED Lighting SA, our in-house lighting designers and engineers use CAD and 3D simulation to turn architectural drawings into detailed, buildable lighting plans. We define luminaire positions, quantities, spacing, mounting heights and control zones around the function and character of each space. Photometric simulations allow us to test predicted light distribution, lux levels, uniformity, glare and energy performance before installation. This identifies dark areas, excessive brightness or inefficient product selection early, when changes are easier and less costly. From retail and commercial interiors to industrial, exterior and specialist applications, we provide clear layouts, calculation reports and technical documentation that support architects, consultants, contractors and project teams from design through deployment.

FAQ - Technical Assistance

What does Lighting CAD & 3D Simulation include?

Depending on the project scope, we prepare CAD lighting layouts, 3D models, luminaire positioning and schedules, photometric calculations, performance reports and supporting technical documentation.

What information do you need to begin?

Architectural or CAD drawings, ceiling heights, room uses, surface finishes, furniture or equipment layouts, required light levels, control requirements and applicable project standards are helpful.

What is a photometric lighting simulation?

It uses verified luminaire photometric data and a digital model of the space to predict how light will be distributed before the fittings are installed.

Which lighting performance measures can you assess?

We can assess predicted lux levels, uniformity, light distribution, glare, connected load and illuminance on specified work planes or surfaces within the agreed project scope.

Can you recommend luminaires and quantities?

Yes. We select suitable products and optimise quantities, spacing, optics, output and mounting heights to balance performance, energy use, aesthetics and budget.

Can you work on both new and existing buildings?

Yes. We can design from new-build plans or assess existing spaces using available drawings, measurements, photographs and relevant site information.

Can you coordinate with architects and consultants?

Yes. Our team works with architects, interior designers, electrical consultants, contractors and client teams to coordinate layouts, ceiling plans, power and control requirements.

What documents will I receive?

Depending on the agreed scope, deliverables may include CAD layouts, rendered views, luminaire schedules, calculation summaries, lux plots and technical notes for tender or installation.

How accurate is the simulation, and can it be revised?

Results depend on the accuracy of the supplied drawings, product data, surface reflectance values and design assumptions. We can revise the model when layouts, finishes, products or project requirements change.
