Help architects compare direct lighting options with verified data and spec-grade comparisons

Help architects compare direct lighting options with verified data and spec-grade comparisons targets a $4.5B = 300,000 architecture/lighting design firms worldwide × $15,000 ACV for design and specification tooling and data services total addressable market with medium saturation and a year-over-year growth rate of 7% YoY (industry reports on AEC and design software growth; sources: market reports for AEC/BIM and lighting controls market summaries).

Key trends driving demand: Regulation and energy codes are pushing demand for verified product performance — this increases need for auditable data and comparison tools.; Manufacturers are digitizing catalogs and want distribution channels — partnerships create monetization opportunities and richer data.; AI and cloud tools make parsing IES/LM-63 files and auto-tagging metadata much faster, lowering costs for maintaining a product database.; Design teams increasingly expect integrated, spec-ready outputs (BIM/IFC exports), creating demand for tools that connect product data to workflows..
