Question

What is an IES file and how can I view it in Mac OS^? X?

1. Internet Explorer for Mac is incredibly slow, buggy, prone to crashes and freezing and is woefully short of security settings. Since development finished in 2005, Internet Explorer for Mac doesn't offer even the most basic features that you would consider a prerequisite on any browser nowadays like tabs, extensions, saved sessions or private.
2. The Download Centre ensures existing IES customers always stay up to date. Here you will find the latest version of your product ready for download. If you use any of our online platforms, you can login below to access the latest version. Choose your product from the quick links below to download and install the latest version of the.
3. Download Real IES 3 for Mac Download Real IES 3 for PC GET STARTED. One time payment €59.99. Need an HDR light instead? We can help with that too. Real HDR is the easiest way to create high quality and high-resolution HDR images to be used as skyboxes in your 3D productions. Download the program, build your lighting scenario and import it in.

Requirements

Any version of Mac OS X (v10.6.4 or newer recommended) and a web browser (Safari 5.x or newer recommended)

Background

The Illuminating Engineering Society created a standard set of rules to describe the photometric properties of a specific light fixture (luminaire). The data set containing the photometric description is created in lighting design software and saved as an *.ies^? file that includes the light distribution patterns, foot candle plots, and luminaire efficiency among many other attributes. Click here to see an example of what these text based files look like.

Virtually all lighting manufacturers offer *.ies files for their luminaires which provides a technical baseline to compare fixtures from the same, or different, manufacturers. While numerous applications exist for the Windows operating system to view the content of an *.ies file, we have yet to find one that runs in Mac OS X.

What To Do

The internet comes to the rescue in allowing *.IES files to be viewed in a browser window! While the solution isn't perfect, we tip our hats to the guys at Visual-3d for posting a web based application that displays the *.IES file content.

To view a *.IES file in Mac OS X, do this:

1. Launch your web browser of choice (e.g. Safari 5.x)
2. Visit the online IES file viewer page at http://www.visual-3d.com/Tools/PhotometricViewer/
3. Follow the on screen instructions to Open your *.ies file.
4. The photometric data is displayed in your web browser window

Example Data:
To see an example of what ICS data looks like using the online view noted above, click here

If you'd like to see the graphic version of the sample text based ICS data we provided a link to above, do this:

1. A file named CR6.zip is downloaded to your computer (typically to your downloads folder unless you have specified another location). Double click that downloaded file to extract it's contents to a file named CR6.ies.
2. Visit the online IES file viewer by clicking here
3. In the IES File^? View web page click the open link.
4. In the Open Photometric Report dialog (pictured below) click choose file (note: the button may read browse in some browsers).
5. Locate the file from step 2 noted above and press open in the dialog box (in some cases the button may read choose, or ok, instead of open).
6. You'll be returned to the browser window as shown in step 5 above. Press Ok.
7. The photometric data is displayed in the browser window. A portion of that report is pictured below

While the online work around isn't perfect, at least it's a glimmer of light in the dark tunnel that is viewing IES files in Mac OS X and we hope it helps.
