Where Lightingdesigner.io stands out
The market is split between heavy professional lighting software and generic floor-planning / interior tools. Lightingdesigner.io sits between them: fast in the browser, but still tied to real lighting products and room-based targets.

Features
Built specifically for lighting design
Import plans, draw rooms on top
Import a full-property PDF or image, trace rooms on top and continue with detailed room design.
Lux in the right context
Room types, target ranges, furniture, indirect light and cabinet lighting all feed the same estimate.
Real products, real groups
Select spots, LED strips, profiles and control products from a product-aware catalog instead of generic placeholders.
Furniture lighting included
Plinths, task lighting and top-of-cabinet lighting are part of the lighting model and the grouped control view.
Downlights at product level
Shape, finish, control mode, beam, CRI and color temperature belong inside the design flow.
Profiles by use case
Direct, indirect, surface, recessed, wall-mounted and furniture-mounted logic drives product selection before drawing starts.
Workflow
Quick to use without feeling lightweight
Import a floor plan or start clean
Design a single room or a full property. Scale can be calibrated later using one known wall dimension.
Define rooms and purpose
Room type drives recommendation ranges, auto suggestions and makes the design easier to understand for the customer.
Add lighting and furniture
Downlights, LED lines, furniture and furniture lighting stay in the same visual model.
Export PDF, products and controls
Room-specific views, recommended lux ranges, control grouping and export-ready product lists come from the same plan.
