aderrington Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I know there are lots of beam calculators out there, however I believe this app has a slight edge, The info below should explain it all: Lighting Calculator combines several useful calculations that lighting designers and technicians use on a day to day basis.Calculations include: Beam Angle Calculator:• Required Lens - Provide the distance and desired beam size and the app will tell you what size lens you'l need. • Beam Diameter - Provide the distance and lens angle and the app will tell you how big a pool of light you'll have. •Throw Distance - Provide the beam size and lens angle and the app will tell you how far a throw is required. Gobo Projection Calculator: • Image Size - Provide the app with the gobo image size and throw distance, select the lantern your using and it will provide the projected image size. • Gobo Size -Provide your desired projected Image size and throw distance, select the lantern your going to use and it will provide you with the gobo image size you need. - Handy when designing your gobo's! All measurements are available in Metric and Imperial, and more lanterns will be added regularly. In time a database covering over 500 lamps both conventional and moving lights will be added for easy selection and reference. There's also a small web-page, this can be found here: http://www.aderrington.co.uk/Lighting/Lighting_Calculator.html And itunes link is: http://itunes.apple....d444335307?mt=8 And just as an update to Lighting Handbook, I'm just finishing off version 1.6, this has a few small improvements, some graphical, some system tweaks, some new features like I.P ratings guide, Torch function, Auto library update...I'm also working on Version 2, This is a complete rewrite of the app, however this then allow me to introduce much needed and requested features such as searching, and favourites. This will also be a universal app so iPad users will finally be able to use the app full screen! And...... I'm currently porting the app to android! This could take a little while, but I'm hoping to release it at the same time as version 2 (hopefully around or before september). More details will follow.
