eulumdat-luminance 1.0.1

Luminance table generation from EULUMDAT (.ldt) photometric files — extension to eulumdat-py

eulumdat-luminance

Luminance table generation from EULUMDAT (.ldt) photometric files — extension to eulumdat-py.

Features

• Luminance table (cd/m²) computed from intensity distribution and luminous area geometry
• UGR grid (C: 0°–345° in 15° steps, γ: 65°–85° in 5° steps) with automatic bilinear interpolation when the native LDT resolution does not match
• Full native grid mode for detailed photometric analysis
• Polar luminance diagram (SVG + PNG/JPG): all 24 C-planes visible simultaneously, one curve per γ angle, blue gradient palette, optional threshold circle
• Print-ready output via PolarStyle.for_print(width_cm, dpi) — exact physical dimensions for PDF/Word documents
• CSV and JSON export

Installation

pip install eulumdat-luminance

Dependencies

• eulumdat-py — EULUMDAT parser
• numpy, scipy
• vl-convert-python — SVG rasterisation
• Pillow — JPG conversion

Quick start

from pyldt import LdtReader
from eulumdat_luminance import LuminanceCalculator, LuminancePlot, PolarStyle

ldt    = LdtReader.read("luminaire.ldt")
result = LuminanceCalculator.compute(ldt)

print(f"{result.luminaire_name} — {result.maximum:.0f} cd/m²")

plot = LuminancePlot(result)
plot.polar("polar.svg")
plot.polar("polar.png")

# Print-ready: 8 cm wide at 300 dpi
plot.polar("polar_print.png", style=PolarStyle.for_print(width_cm=8, dpi=300))

Running the tests

# All tests (numerical validation + diagram generation)
pytest

# Numerical tests only (fast, ~10 s)
pytest tests/test_calculator.py

# Visual diagram generation only
pytest tests/test_diagrams.py

# Verbose with print output
pytest -v -s

# Filter by sample
pytest -k sample_04

# Filter by test type
pytest -k "svg"                  # SVG generation only
pytest -k "png"                  # PNG generation only
pytest -k "for_print"            # print/PDF sizing tests
pytest -k "Relux"                # Relux numerical validation (30 tests)
pytest -k "not Smoke"            # exclude smoke tests
