Potentiel Lighting Academy
Understand light. Then specify it better.
A progressive pathway from photometric terminology to specification and substitutions. The lessons are independent of any external certification and confer no DIALux or manufacturer status.

Progressive.
Start with the basics or go straight to the level that suits your experience.
Traceable.
Product or standards-related concepts must only be added with explicit sources and technical review.
Connected to the project.
Each lesson should help you better prepare a calculation, specification, tender or technical inspection.
Level 1
Fundamentals
Build the essential vocabulary and understanding before comparing luminaires.
Level 2
Lighting design
Progress from basic quantities to photometry, comfort and the calculation workflow.
- 03UGR, glare and visual comfort.Interpret UGR correctly and understand why comfort cannot be reduced to a catalogue value.
- 04Read a photometric curve and choose the optics.Connect photometry, optics and an application without confusing total luminous flux with distribution.
- 05DIALux workflow: from plans to reports.Structure a DIALux study without confusing modelling, product selection and project validation.
Level 3
Systems & operation
Understand drivers, controls, service life and constraints that influence the actual system.
Level expert
Expert / specification
Structure a specification, equivalence assessment or VISA approval using traceable, verifiable criteria.
What the Academy is not.
Potentiel Lighting Academy is educational content from Potentiel Énergie. It does not award DIALux certification, regulatory qualifications or manufacturer certification. The requirements of an actual project remain to be verified in context, using the applicable documents and standards.
