From floor plan to lighting layout. Automatically.

Planphos combines artificial intelligence with 20 years of lighting design expertise. The result: code-compliant lighting layouts in seconds rather than weeks.

How Planphos works

Every step is grounded in the knowledge of an experienced lighting designer — translated into an AI pipeline with deterministic validation.

Floor plan analysis

The AI analyses your 2D floor plan (PDF). Rooms, areas, space labels and geometry are automatically identified and extracted.

AI-powered

Room classification

Each room is assigned a usage type — office, corridor, WC, meeting room. This determines the normative values: illuminance (lx), colour rendering (Ra), glare limitation (UGR).

DIN EN 12464-1

Luminaire positioning

Based on the utilance method, Planphos calculates the optimal number and position of luminaires. Spacing and edge zone rules are observed.

Utilance method

Deterministic validation

Every AI output is verified by code: does the luminaire count match the utilance formula? Are the spacings code-compliant? Are all positions within the room boundaries?

Quality assurance

Plan export

The finished lighting plan is generated as a PDF — with luminaire positions, IDs, legend, room summary and disclaimer.
