The IES file format is called such because of the Illuminating Engineering Society. It's a society that brings together lighting experts (e.g. Lighting designers, consultants, engineers, sales professionals, architects, researchers, lighting equipment manufacturers, etc.) to better design lighting conditions in the real world.

Question
What is an IES file and how can I view it in Mac OS? X?
Requirements
![Viewer Viewer](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/5b/1c/63/5b1c63b30756871cc3f6ecb7c4701265.jpg)
Any version of Mac OS X (v10.6.4 or newer recommended) and a web browser (Safari 5.x or newer recommended)
Open File Settings Tools. Visual Photometric Toolâ„¢ Welcome to the Visual Photometric Tool: Visual Photometric Tool 1.2.46 copyright 2020, Acuity Brands Lighting. To assist the architectural lighting industry with the preparation and presentation of predicted lighting performance through the use of powerful, yet affordable, calculation software, and to actively support that software with friendly, knowledgeable and accessible assistance.
Background
The Illuminating Engineering Society created a standard set of rules to describe the photometric properties of a specific light fixture (luminaire). The data set containing the photometric description is created in lighting design software and saved as an *.ies? file that includes the light distribution patterns, foot candle plots, and luminaire efficiency among many other attributes. Click here to see an example of what these text based files look like.
Virtually all lighting manufacturers offer *.ies files for their luminaires which provides a technical baseline to compare fixtures from the same, or different, manufacturers. While numerous applications exist for the Windows operating system to view the content of an *.ies file, we have yet to find one that runs in Mac OS X.
What To Do
The internet comes to the rescue in allowing *.IES files to be viewed in a browser window! While the solution isn't perfect, we tip our hats to the guys at Visual-3d for posting a web based application that displays the *.IES file content.
Ies File Viewer For Mac Free
To view a *.IES file in Mac OS X, do this:
- Launch your web browser of choice (e.g. Safari 5.x)
- Visit the online IES file viewer page at http://www.visual-3d.com/Tools/PhotometricViewer/
- Follow the on screen instructions to Open your *.ies file.
- The photometric data is displayed in your web browser window

If you'd like to see the graphic version of the sample text based ICS data we provided a link to above, do this:
- A file named
CR6.zip is downloaded to your computer (typically to yourdownloads folder unless you have specified another location). Double click that downloaded file to extract it's contents to a file namedCR6.ies . - Visit the online IES file viewer by clicking here
- In the IES File? View web page click the
open link. - In the Open Photometric Report dialog (pictured below) click
choose file (note: the button may readbrowse in some browsers). - Locate the file from step 2 noted above and press
open in the dialog box (in some cases the button may readchoose , orok , instead ofopen ). - You'll be returned to the browser window as shown in step 5 above. Press
Ok . - The photometric data is displayed in the browser window. A portion of that report is pictured below
While the online work around isn't perfect, at least it's a glimmer of light in the dark tunnel that is viewing IES files in Mac OS X and we hope it helps.
