Relux members provide users with a large number of luminaires and sensors free of charge for planning purposes. For planning with third-party products, the ReluxThirdParty licence is strongly recommended.

Planning without a ReluxThirdParty licence

Without a licence, users can select products from well-known manufacturers in the lighting industry in the product selection dialogue.

Luminaire and sensor data from other manufacturers can be imported into the scene via the "Individual luminaire" section or by drag & drop.

Datasheets from a Relux member are shown in full. The datasheet for the third-party LDC, on the other hand, only contains the most important information and the product name is anonymised.

In addition, products from manufacturers listed with Relux can be edited under “Modify type”. This function cannot be used for luminaires from other manufacturers.

A watermark will be embedded to this effect on the printout for projects containing third-party products:

Users wishing to plan with third-party luminaires, can obtain a ReluxThirdParty licence from the shop and activate it. 

Note: this licence is not required for the two add-ons ReluxTunnel and ReluxEnergyCH. Also, if your company is a Relux member, the licence is not required.

The printout will not contain any sort of watermark:
