SmartBeam® Luminance Camera App

Lighting designers, architects and engineers can now quickly assess surface light levels. See luminance variations in real time and share directly from Apple or Android device.

iOS Versions & Pricing

A key feature of the app is the ability to share images directly from your smartphone to help collaboration on lighting installations or new lighting product development. Images can also be posted directly to social media. The app also includes the ability to save images for inclusion in reports. For fun, the app can be used to produced luminance photographic maps of your favorite places or people, and even fun selfies!

There are two versions of the app:Link to Apple App Store

  1. Enthusiasts/Basic Version (FREE)
  2. Pro/Expert Version (Single User License $9.99)

Pro/Expert Version (Single User License $9.99)

The Pro Version offers the same functionality as Basic version plus a range of useful new features:

  • Portrait mode – renders the luminance images and information in both portrait and landscape modes. The image is automatically realigned depending upon the orientation of the smart phone.
  • Multiple luminance test point (LTP) measurements – once a luminance camera image has been captured it is possible to select up to 3 discrete points and display luminance values as a direct overlay on that image.
  • Angle-in-picture (ANG) feature – angles can be measured directly within a saved image. This is particularly useful for beam distribution calculations (e.g. what angle is my batwing distribution?).
  • Enhanced settings – allows the user more flexibility on setting luminance ranges and scales.
  • Enhanced sharing – simplified features for sharing and additional ability to share directly to social media or via email.
