What is a .LTL file?
The .LTL file extension refers to a Luminaire Data File. This type of file is primarily used by a software program called DIALux, which is designed to help users plan and simulate lighting for both indoor and outdoor spaces. The .LTL file contains important information about a light fixture, such as how much power it uses (power consumption), the total amount of light it emits (luminous flux), how intense the light is (light intensity), and the area the light covers (light radius), among other details. This data helps DIALux accurately represent how the light fixture will perform in different environments.
To open a .LTL file, you need to use DIALux or DIALux Evo, which are programs developed by DIAL. These programs allow you to import the .LTL file and use it in your lighting projects. Here’s how you can open a .LTL file in DIALux: 1. Start the DIALux program. 2. Click on the 'File' menu at the top. 3. Choose 'Import' from the dropdown menu. 4. Select 'Luminaire files...' from the submenu. 5. Navigate to the location on your computer where the .LTL file is saved. 6. Select the file and click 'Open'.
This will load the light fixture data into your project, allowing you to model and plan the lighting as needed.
Note: .LTL files are similar to other types of luminaire data files like .LDT, .ELD, .CIB, and .IES, which are also used for storing data about light fixtures and can be used in similar ways in lighting design software.
