How to Use:
Download and Extract: Begin by downloading the IES Viewer installation file and extracting its contents. This lightweight version does not require installation, allowing you to start using it immediately after extraction.
Run the Software: Double-click the IES Viewer executable to launch the software.
Inspect IES File Shapes: Often, when you receive an IES file, you may be unsure of the light distribution it represents. With IES Viewer, you can easily view the shape of the light distribution. To do this, select the location of the IES file and choose the file you wish to inspect. The shape of the light distribution will be displayed on the right side of the interface. If the view is not clear enough, you can proceed to the next step.
Render the Light Distribution Shape: To get a clearer and more detailed view of the light distribution, render the shape using the software's rendering feature. In a short time, you will see a beautifully rendered representation of the light distribution.
By following these simple steps, IES Viewer empowers lighting designers and engineers to efficiently analyze and utilize IES files for their projects.
