Abstract

Assessing luminance levels in outdoor public spaces is relevant for the lighting design of architectural and urban environments. This article compares a digital tool and a traditional device for measuring luminance levels in outdoor settings, aiming to explore the pros and cons of each method and offer guidance to public space designers. The study involves a literature review of luminance measurement techniques and a comparative analysis of the results obtained using Fusion Optix software and a lux meter. Both methods exhibit benefits and drawbacks, with the choice of method hinging on the specific context and evaluation objectives. Generally, digital tools provide a more efficient and precise measurement of luminance levels, while traditional devices contribute to a broader understanding of the lighting environment. It is recommended that a combination of digital tools and traditional devices be employed in luminance assessments to achieve the most accurate and comprehensive results.
