Are you planning a new lighting concept and need precise data to make your work easier? With our LDT files, you can simulate light distributions and use them to design your perfect lighting solution.

Whether for architectural projects, technical applications or creative lighting scenarios - we provide you with the basis you can rely on. We have updated all LDT lighting files from the current product range to make lighting design much easier for you.

A polar light distribution curve shows the beam characteristics of a luminaire. The yellow areas visualise the main beam direction, while the axes illustrate the angular positions.

The image shows a polarised luminous intensity distribution, which represents the radiation characteristics of a luminaire. The yellow area illustrates the light distribution, with the values given in candela along the marked angles.

What are LDT files and why are they important?

EULUMDAT (LDT) is a format for exchanging photometric data on the luminous intensity distribution of light sources. EULUMDAT (.ldt) files contain important data for lighting design in pure text form. This includes parameters such as

  • Dimensions
  • Input voltage
  • Colour temperature
  • Luminous intensity distribution

This information will help you to select the right lights for your project and simulate the lighting effect accurately.

How our LDT files make lighting design easier for you

We have updated all LDT lighting files from the current product range for you to make lighting planning much easier. This allows you to plan more efficiently and saves you unnecessary queries.

Your LDT downloads in one place

You can find all DOTLUX light files either under Downloads or directly at the luminaire under the article number in our Online product directory (under the Downloads tab).

With our current LDT data, you have everything you need for successful lighting design. Try it out and see for yourself!

Frequently asked questions about LDT files and lighting design

Our lighting design department will be happy to answer your questions at lichtplanung@dotlux.de

You can import the files into lighting design software such as DIALux or Relux. Lighting scenarios can be simulated and optimised there.

They provide you with precise information about the light distribution and allow you to accurately test the effect of a luminaire in advance. This saves time and avoids errors.

You can find our LDT files on the product pages in the Downloads section or directly in our online product directory under the respective article number.

If you discover an error, simply contact our lighting design department. As a thank you, you will receive a free multifunctional torch from our range.
