It needs to hit the right light level, render people and materials accurately, and set the mood your clients expect. Guesswork won’t get you there. Data will. Velaria Systems gives you what you need to design with confidence: - Photometric files, so you can calculate illuminance for your space - Color rendering data, so people look and feel their best - A wide range of color temperature options, so you set the mood exactly the way you want it   ![image001-1.png](https://blog.velariasystems.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image001-1.png.webp?width=620&height=434&name=image001-1.png.webp) ##### Light Output Matched to Your Application Our illumination systems come in three light output options: Standard, Enhanced, and Ultra.
