DESIGN CASE STUDIES
From original intent to validated outcome. See how simulation translates to installed reality.
Luxury Hotel Lobby — Downtown Dubai
Simulation vs Installed — Drag to Compare
Design Intent
Create a grand arrival experience with warm, layered light. Feature chandelier as visual anchor. Subtle cove lighting to define architectural volumes.
Simulation Results
Dialux Evo simulation validated 300 lux ambient with 5:1 accent ratio on marble reception wall. UGR < 19 achieved at all seated positions. False colour confirmed zero hotspots.
Installed Outcome
Installed lighting matched simulation within 5% tolerance. Scene programming delivered 6 distinct moods. Client sign-off achieved on first walk-through.
Controls Programming
DALI-2 with 4 scenes: Welcome (full drama), Day (daylight supplement), Evening (warm transition), Night (security adequate). Astronomical time clock scheduling.
Commercial Tower Facade — DIFC
Simulation vs Installed — Drag to Compare
Design Intent
Dynamic facade illumination highlighting vertical architectural lines. Controlled light spill. Colour-changing capability for special events while maintaining elegant white default.
Simulation Results
Isolux diagrams validated uniform wash with < 5 lux obtrusive light at property boundary. Beam containment verified from 3 viewing distances. Energy density: 2.1 W/m² facade area.
Installed Outcome
Night photography confirmed precise beam alignment with architectural elements. Zero light pollution complaints. DMX integration with BMS for automated scheduling.
Controls Programming
DMX-512 with 12 zones. Default: static warm white. Event mode: colour sequences synced with building calendar. Emergency: all fixtures to 50% warm white.
