Over the past week, we have been working in Dialux again for several projects. This is lighting calculation software that allows us to predict and assess light levels and lighting effects.

​We hebben goed nieuws! Onze lichtontwerper Gerrit Jan heeft deze maand het prestigieuze ELE-certificaat (European Lighting Expert) behaald en is officieel opgenomen in het ELEA-register (European Lighting Expert Association).
