Important notes
  • Beam edges are not a substitute for a photometric distribution or point-by-point calculation.
  • Australian standards may inform project-specific boundaries; this checker does not declare compliance.

Formulas

  • \(\displaystyle \Delta = D - S\)
  • \(\displaystyle R = \max(0,\Delta)/D\)
  • Overlap is a geometric comparison and is not equivalent to illuminance uniformity.
