Light ARchitect Is Revolutionizing Lighting Design for Architects & Designers

Traditionally, lighting design could be a tedious process, often involving physical mockups, time-consuming calculations, and static renderings using multiple software tools. With advancing technology, these traditional methods are giving way to more sophisticated tools that enhance precision, speed, and visualization. On the downside, many of the new tools are not particularly intuitive and the learning curve can be high. Light ARchitect is a notable exception. Light ARchitect is the multiple award-winning lighting simulation app developed by Cooper Lighting Solutions.  Using real-time surveying capabilities, instant photometric calculations, and augmented reality (AR) visualization, Light ARchitect eliminates the guesswork from lighting design and fosters a more efficient and collaborative process involving all stakeholders and resulting in expedited decision-making throughout the project.
