In Brazil artificial lighting contributes with expressive value to electric power consumption. Good performance of lighting system depends of criterion fixed on the electric design conception that takes into account the information about lamps, environment and type of work carried on the local. This paper presents an easy of use and low computational requirements software used to choice lamps, fixtures and its lay-out aiming a good and efficient illumination system design. Its textual format results are displayed at the video monitor, and stored in files, and can be printed and attached to the technical memorial report. So, a presentation of several design options can be furnished quickly through the software for an economic pre-analysis of illumination design.

Keywords : Software for lighting calculation; efficient illumination.
