Both can be quickly optimized to real-world design plans for any application. No other available software allows such instant, highly graphic unambiguous performance comparisons among multiple brands and types of light fixtures, at no cost or obligation.specifiers can expect between various outdoor landscape lighting A new Dark Sky module in 3dOP-Dark-Sky Edition shows 360° displays of fixture illumination, with user-defined glare angles included. Custom variable lumen and footcandle levels, lighting grids and light loss factors, are integral to the second generation 3dOP software. Light output can also be viewed like thermal images, to detect unwanted potential design and installation “hot spots.”l 3dOP-Dark-Sky Edition users can learn about the software and view a selection of application examples, by filling out a brief form that allows them to download the software free on their hard-drives. 3dOP works for PC and MAC users, and with standard IESNA Type C format files. When operated, it performs an instant lighting analysis to user-selected criteria and presents three-dimensional renderings of fixture light distribution patterns. The software allows fixtures to be positioned and infinitely repositioned in a choice of ground, wall and area orientations, allowing users to see interactively how differences in fixture-, positioning and lamping dynamically affect actual light output.
