Lighting Design to AS/NZS 1680 & NCC J7 — Australia & New Zealand | SYMATEQ
Australia & New Zealand

Lighting & Photometrics

A deep understanding of stringent regional codes and a commitment to energy efficiency — visualized before a single fixture is purchased.

DIALux-Driven

Compliance to AS/NZS 1680

We execute high-fidelity photometric calculations using DIALux, allowing clients to visualize luminous environments before purchase. Our designs guarantee complete compliance with AS/NZS 1680 standards, ensuring optimal visual comfort and workplace safety across all projects.

We also handle detailed lighting fixture selection, aligning perfectly with interior design requirements and architectural RCP plans to deliver visually stunning, energy-compliant spaces.

FAQ

Lighting & photometrics (AS/NZS) — common questions

What is AS/NZS 1680 lighting compliance?

AS/NZS 1680 is the Australian/New Zealand interior and workplace lighting standard. We run high-fidelity DIALux photometric calculations to guarantee compliant lux levels, uniformity and glare control for visual comfort and workplace safety.

Do you provide J7 Lighting Power Density calculations?

Yes. We produce rigorous Section J (J7) Lighting Power Density (LPD) calculations for residential and commercial properties to meet National Construction Code (NCC) energy-efficiency requirements.

Which software do you use for AU/NZ lighting design?

Primarily DIALux for high-fidelity photometric simulation, letting clients visualize the luminous environment before a single fixture is purchased.

Do you handle fixture selection and RCP coordination?

Yes. Luminaire selection is aligned to interior-design intent and the architect's Reflected Ceiling Plan (RCP) to deliver visually striking, energy-compliant spaces.
