Occasionally, we are asked how DIALux commercially works. Here is our explanation:
In DIALux, you can plan with any luminaire, regardless of the type of luminaire manufacturer. Luminaire manufacturers have the opportunity to present themselves better to you, the planners. For this purpose, they acquire a DIALux Membership. We finance the ongoing development with the revenue generated from this. Here you can find a list of Members: Exclusive luminaire manufacturers
DIALux is not entirely free, by the way. The upcoming version of DIALux evo will have some features that are only available to you for a fee of €29.99 per month. These features include customizable layouts, export to Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, as well as, most importantly, BIM import and export.
What do we actually do with all the money?
Well, unfortunately, it's not that much money 😉 . DIAL GmbH is owned by an association that does not withdraw profits but keeps them entirely within the company. Therefore, the revenue from the Membership Fees and the Pro version is fully invested in development. So feel free to encourage luminaire manufacturers you know to become DIALux Members as well. The more DIALux Members we have, the better and faster we can continue to improve DIALux for you.
