DIALux Database Editor by DIAL GmbH

DIALux Database Editor is a specialized utility for building, organizing, and maintaining lighting product data for use in DIALux. It streamlines how manufacturers and advanced users curate photometric files and product information so designers can search, select, and apply accurate luminaires directly in their lighting projects.

Key capabilities

• Centralized catalog management: Create structured product hierarchies and keep descriptions, codes, and specifications consistent across your portfolio.
• Photometric import and validation: Bring in standard IES and LDT files, check essential parameters, and prepare them for reliable use in DIALux.
• Metadata and media handling: Attach images, datasheets, and accessory information to enrich each product entry.
• Batch editing and automation: Apply changes to multiple items at once to speed up maintenance and updates.
• Preview and quality checks: Review key photometric details and product attributes to minimize errors before publishing.
• Publishing to DIALux: Export DIALux-compatible catalogs for internal teams or external distribution to designers and specifiers.
• Multilingual support: Maintain translations for product names and attributes to reach broader markets.
• Versioning and lifecycle updates: Track revisions and keep catalogs current as products evolve.
