The digital twin of real luminaires and sensors
The new, open, state-of-the-art product data format for luminaires and sensors marks a milestone that will help boost design competence within the industry while constituting a secure investment at the same time.
As the initiator of this vision, RELUX is working with DIAL to compile and maintain this data and geometry format. The two companies are offering all parties concerned who are interested a description of the format with sample files. Readers and editors will support the industry in compiling digital twins of this kind.
Why a uniform data format of this type?
For greater benefit for planners
The various actors in the planning process depend on the right information being recorded for
the respective tasks. The information can be accessed in GLDF. The digital twin ensures better
comparability and facilitates data handling.
For a reduced outlay in the industry
A reduction in the outlay involved in compiling product data, with the simultaneous assurance
that this is a secure investment, since it introduces a data standard that meets the
requirements of a large number of players. Those hungry for data will be able to satisfy their
needs in the digital twin in future.
For improved software
Good software requires correct and up-to-date information. This makes it possible to provide
optimum support for users in their individual tasks.
What does GLDF include?
- Commercial data
- Photometric and radiometric data
- BIM characteristics to CEN/TS 17623
- Individual and parametric geometric data
- Mapping of real product variants
Who is compiling and maintaining GLDF?
RELUX and DIAL are developing and maintaining the format.
Who owns GLDF?
It is not legally possible to take out a copyright on a data format, but RELUX and DIAL are jointly maintaining this data and geometry format.
Is GLDF free of charge and who is entitled to use it?
The format description, sample files and libraries for reading and writing are available, free of charge, with the source codes, for use by everyone. Reader and editor applications will be provided free of charge for all interested parties.

DATA Services for manufacturers
The desktop application reads measurement data from luminaires (LDT) and sensors (sensNORM-IEC63180)
and generates the following graphs and tables:
- LVK diagrams
- Cone diagrams
- Isolux diagrams
- UGR tables
- Sensor detection fields
- In addition, light and sensor-related values are generated from the measurement data and made available for third-party systems as CSV, HTML or JSON output.
- The graphical outputs are freely configurable. The outputs are available as raster images or vector graphics in many file formats.
- The RGB- AND CMYK colour mode is used.
- Measurement data can be processed individually or in batch for mass processing. Calling and settings are made via a graphical user interface (GUI). The programme can also be called up and set via command lines.
- Both versions are also available as WebAPI.
- Test version can be downloaded under Download. Please log in with your relux.com account on this website before downloading.

Online APIs to meet individual customer requirements
Would you like to offer your customers future-oriented options on their own website, tablet or smartphone? You will find interesting tools for this here.
The solutions offered by RELUX are responsive solutions and designed for all the devices in standard use.
The APIs run on RELUXWeb servers in the background and are called up by your website. A dialog opens up in your customer’s browser that fits on your personal Corporate Design.
Our ReluxCALC services are generally lighting or sensor calculations for a range of applications.
You decide which of your products are to be calculated in an assignment on the basis of the structure of the product data on your website.
You don’t yet have a suitable structure for your product data? No problem, we provide you with all the technical options for this in the background.
Once the products to be calculated for an assignment are available, hundreds or thousands of calculations can run in the background to find the most suitable product for an assignment. Online applications like this, coupled with intelligent calculation routines and power from the Internet, are opening up completely new possibilities.
The quality of the calculations corresponds to the familiar RELUX quality standards and is identical to those in ReluxDesktop and other applications.
The computing capacities are scalable. For large companies that have country-specific content, we also recommend running services in parallel, on capacity utilisation grounds. It is best to start small and see how your customers accept the service before scaling the solutions further.
Product overview as PDF documentation
Your customers are sent documentation on the lighting calculations in the form of a PDF file. Images of a final light distribution curve are generated automatically by our programs for documentation purposes. A number of results are also available in file form for further use in the RELUX planning programs. You want to find out whether your investment is being well received? We naturally provide you with the necessary information for this too.
