The data platforms explained
ReluxNet is a web based search engine platform that allows users to select products using many criteria. The optimised and structured search criteria allows users to find appropriate products, print data sheets and set up a comparison list. Once products are selected, they can be used directly in Relux lighting calculations by using the integrated Drag&Drop function, or the user can download an ldt or ies photometric data file, or a Revit Family file for use in other programs.
ReluxOnLine uses the product selector in ReluxPro, the product data is stored on the Relux web servers. When selected, a product can be used directly in Relux calculations.
ReluxDesktop also uses the product selector in ReluxPro, but the product data is stored locally on the users PC to allow off-line working.

The Membership levels explained
ReluxFullMember
The standard ReluxFullMember membership level allows your product data to be available on the Relux data platforms. Product data is available for selection from ReluxNet, ReluxDesktop and ReluxOnLine.
ReluxFullMembers can create, import and edit their data using a data entry tool called EulumDB. This is a simple import and edit tool for the compilation of product data, and can be used to create a complete electronic product database. The database is stored and manipulated locally on a PC or a local network drive.
When changes have been made, a database check tool called ReluxCheckDB is used to test the integrity of a database.
When the data is ready for release, a synchronisation tool called DuoComfort is used to upload the data to the Relux web site.
Once uploaded, the data is available from ReluxNet, ReluxDesktop and ReluxOnLine.
The ReluxMemberTools suite includes EulumDB, LumGeo, CheckDB and DuoComfort, and is included in the membership.
This service includes the facility to store up to 5,000 products, however additional products can be included for an additional payment.
