These models can include information regarding the physical and functional characteristics of all objects placed in a space BIM models can be shared and collaborated on through the entire life cycle of the building, including the design phase. A variety of programs exist for creating BIM files, LAS uses Autodesk Revit and ElumTools for all of our Building Information Models, which contain the extension “.rvt”.
When creating BIM files for luminaires, IES files can be inserted into luminaire models using ElumTools to accurately depict light output and distribution.
BIM files for luminaires will enable lighting designers, engineers, architects and specifiers to place the luminaire into virtual building models to manage lighting data throughout the life cycle of a given project.
3D renderings and walk-throughs can be generated from these models, with luminaires built as accurate objects that appear as they would in real life.
If you have accurate dimensions for a luminaire, we can build the luminaire as a functional object using Revit and ElumTools.
IES files can be added to the luminaire model to create a BIM file that will encompass both the appearance of the luminaire and the lighting properties of the IES file.
Whether you provide a .rvt file of your facility, or we create one for you from other drawing files, LAS has the capabilities to read and edit BIM models using Autodesk Revit and ElumTools. 3D renderings and walk-throughs can be generated from these models, with luminaires built as accurate objects that appear as they would in real life.
Increase availability for performance of day-to-day tasks. Instantly add staff to your existing applications department or create an application to your department. By using our services you will no longer be paying employee taxes, health insurance, retirement, equipment in overhead expenses. We communicate directly with the assigned point of contact unless instructed otherwise.
Assist in luminaire selection, location, and mounting heights as needed. Provide lamping information for each luminaire according to cut sheets. Ensure that all input wattages are accurate and provide LPD data as requested. Be available to discuss the details of a layout with you and your associates. Provide turnaround times that will enhance the sales of your products.
Comparison testing of your luminaire against selected competitors. Written documentation of product comparison studies. Assist your technical department with the design of reflectors, shielding, etc.
Properly format all files in LM-63-2002 format and re-name for easy identification by the user. Audit files for accuracy in lumen output, lamping information and luminaire description. Edit luminous opening size in each file to accurately represent the luminaire. Prepare your files for web posting. Create an Instabase that will be posted on the Lighting Analysts website.
A timely response to our request for any missing information will ensure that your layout be completed as quickly and accurately as possible. The application layout request will be assigned a reference number and placed in the queue. If the project needs immediate attention, we will expedite the layout (at an additional cost), with your approval.

LAS can generate product comparisons based on IES file data. This can be done as a lighting layout or in a photometric report format.
Includes: luminaire schedules, calculation summaries, isoline templates, renderings, project information
Parking lots and garages have critical zones of potential pedestrian and vehicular contact. Maintaing safe lighting levels is crucial for both users and security staff. LAS can provide calculations for all types of parking areas, from open-area shopping malls, to multi-level structures.
Note: LAS will only provide photopic calculations; No mesopic calculations are offered.
Includes: luminaire schedules, calculation summaries, isoline templates, renderings, project information
Do you supply IES files to your sales representatives or post them on your website?
Can your potential customers find the product they want by the title of the file?
Are they in the proper IESNA2002 format?
Do you have a person dedicated to maintaining your files?
Would you like the opportunity to have your files seen by lighting professionals worldwide?
Our services can help you answer all of these questions.
We will to the best of our ability format the text portion of an IES file as recommended by current IESNA standards. We will not knowingly create or distribute files indicating one source when created by another source, and we will only create IES files from same lamp envelope IES files.
We will not mix sources or change lamp envelopes, (a 175 watt ED17 lamp can’t be prorated to a 400 watt BT37 lamp).
We will create prorated IES files by the lumen ratio method for different wattages within the same envelope (i.e. size and lamp finish are the same) and source on approval by manufacturer.
NOTE: Although we can edit IES files, LAS does not create ies files. We are not a testing facility.
