Hey everyone,
Over the last few months I’ve been building **LumaScope**, a macOS app for viewing and analyzing IES photometric files.
The original motivation was simple:
Many existing IES viewers feel outdated, display polar diagrams incorrectly, or fail on real-world files that don’t strictly follow the standard.
So I built a tool focused on:
• Support for legacy IESNA91 and non-standard LM-63 files
• Fast local parsing
• Folder-based workflows
• No cloud processing — everything stays local
One of the most interesting parts of development was making the parser robust enough to handle “messy” files from real manufacturers like ERCO, Lithonia, BEGA, and others.
LumaScope is now live on the Mac App Store.
I’d genuinely love feedback from anyone working in lighting design, architecture, or photometry.
