In commercial and architectural lighting applications, photometric services are used to measure the amount of light that is needed in a particular space. This helps to ensure that the space is well-lit, and that the light is distributed evenly throughout the area. Photometric services also help to identify any areas where the lighting needs to be improved and to determine the best type of lighting fixtures for a particular space. This helps to save time, effort, and money when considering construction projects.

There are seven main measurements of light: lumens, candela, lux, foot candles, candelas/meter2, cutoff, and beam aiming. All of these play together in order to determine the perfect placement of light. If you think of a parking lot, for example, you have probably been in a parking lot that is well-lit and one that is not. Odds are, the parking lot that was not well lit did not have a photometric analysis performed in order to determine its proper placement, which is the whole goal of photometric services. You want to ensure that the lighting in your space is adequate because if it’s not, the space becomes unpleasant, indeed.
