The Medgar Lighting Group is pleased to offer design assistance along with our other services. Jeff Burns leads our application team using AGI32 software by Lighting Analysis's Inc. the lighting industry's leading software for lighting professionals. Jeff is an accredited instructor for Lighting Analysts and as is one of only ten such instructors in all of North America. AGI32 is both powerful and effective in modeling interior and exterior spaces for accurate light level measurements. However the software goes far beyond photometric predictions. Visualization is extremely important to comprehend changes in luminance for different materials and surface properties and predict the effect of various luminaire designs in real-world, light and surface interaction. AGi32 becomes a mock-up substitute that can save time and money by creating a virtual model of a proposed design. We offer the following computation possibilities: Interior/Exterior applications; Illuminance, Luminous Exitance, Lighting Power Density, Unified Glare Rating and Luminance in rendered pseudocolour and BUG ratings for exterior luminaires. Roadway applications; Illuminance, Lighting Power Density, Pavement Luminance, Veiling Luminance and Small Target Visibility. Daylighting applications; Illuminance, Daylight Factor (DF) automatic LEED 2.1 criteria, Luminance in rendered pseudocolour and Luminous Exitance. In addition, AGI's Photometric Toolbox allows us to compare various manufacturers' products and report back to you, our client with complete non-bias results.
