LR Studio | Lighting Reality

Welcome to LR Studio

LR Studio is a new, comprehensive suite of Lighting Design Software Tools for suppliers & designers of Exterior Lighting projects. We’ve spent a great deal of time over the last 2 years, listening to you, our customers, telling us what you need and want from lighting design software to improve your productivity, reduce costs & make your lives easier.

Improved Old Favourites & New Modules

Reality Roadway and Outdoor are being upgraded with added functionality (as requested by you) and a fresh new User Interface. New modules assist with automating & simplifying workflows so you can release more time to work on other things. Whether you are a manufacturer preparing tender submissions or developing new optics, or a designer working on major LED upgrades or a simple scheme, LR Studio has a module for you.

In the Office or On the Move

All LR Studio modules are cloud-based* with zero-touch deployment for multi-platform access, so no more complicated deployment processes with your IT department. Licencing is on a subscription basis to enable One-Log-In-Work-Anywhere functionality. All modules have been optimised for Desktop, Laptop, Tablet & Smartphone use whether you are using a Windows or Mac device.

* Desktop APP versions of Roadway (OPTIMIZE) and Outdoor (DESIGN) will remain.

New Calculation Engine

At the heart of LR Studio is our all new Calculation Engine. Not only does it provide a 50-fold increase in calculation speeds, we have rigorously tested it to ensure it meets the same standards of accuracy that you have come to expect from Lighting Reality.

OPTIMIZE for Street Lighting Design

OPTIMIZE is the new name for the next generation of Reality Roadway. We've been listening to you to include some new functionality and give it a fresh new User Interface. What's more, to simplify pre-calculation product filtering, MANAGE (see below) is integrated as standard.

DESIGN for Area Lighting Design

DESIGN is the new name for the next generation of Reality Outdoor. Just as for OPTIMIZE, we've been listening to you to included new functionality (3D blocking, multiple grids & more) and give it a fresh new User Interface. MANAGE (see below) is integrated as standard to simplify product selection.

MANAGE

MANAGE is a new module that simplifies the process of identifying potential luminaires to design around. We've been working to standardise product attribute identifiers to enable you to narrow down your selection through a few simple clicks. No longer do you need to know how to navigate through every manufacturer's naming and codes protocols.

AUTOMATE

AUTOMATE operates as bolt-on to OPTIMIZE and DESIGN and takes productivity improvements to a whole new level for heavy users of the software.

AUTOMATE enables you to define multiple project scenarios, with multiple potential product files, with multiple optimisation criteria within Excel, either manually or by setting up links to 3rd party Asset Databases. Drop the Excel file into AUTOMATE and the calculations will run while you do something else. When you return, all results are prefilled back into Excel for quick and easy analysis.

If you are involved in LED upgrades, large tender submissions, optical development work or other situations requiring the processing of thousands (if not millions) of calculations, then you really need to take a look at AUTOMATE.

OPTIMIZE+

OPTIMIZE+ enables you to build on the efficiencies generated by OPTIMIZE through integrated project calculation queuing functionality. Set up projects, add them to the queue and leave it to OPTIMIZE+ to run the calculations while you do something else.

PLAN

Sometimes you just need to run a quick outdoor area lighting scheme. PLAN strips out all but the most essential functionality to enable rapid project set up and calculation.
