Put your lighting products in real plans
With just a few clicks, designers can specify products with accurate data directly from your catalog.
See it in action
Show off your products in the best light.
In their chosen design software, landscape architects can select your product. Lighting products come with CAD symbols, 3D models, and specification details, all instantly available.
Clients add real lighting equipment to their drawings and plans.
Clients can place your product directly into their plan and design with accurate data and error checking.
Your products will even render correctly in 3D.
We create 3D models for lighting fixtures including beamspread, color temperature, and material finishes.
Accurate performance data
Product integration: We work with you to compile all relevant product information for easy entry into our system. The information you give us feeds the product database our designer clients see in CAD.
Standardized information: We standardize your product listing information for our system, filling out and vetting an average of 20 data fields per product.
International conversion: Get access to an international user base when we convert your listing information to both metric and imperial systems.

Learn more about the detail system
Manufacturer detail: Often rough diagrams or unpolished details.
Land F/X detail: We clean out any attached proxy objects, clean up linework/text/callouts, and unify the text styles and dimension styles.
2D blocks
We create optimized blocks that print perfectly, no matter the CAD standards. When dropped into plans, your product blocks place, scale, and read correctly. Our blocks massively outperform the competition.
3D models of your products that render beautifully, with accurate dimensions, finish, color temperature, and beamspread.
3D models
We create 3D models that meet the same standards as our 2D blocks. When CAD plans are exported to SketchUp, everything functions correctly and the file size remains manageable.
Each product is modeled in SketchUp by an expert that incorporates the product's specific features.
Quality Control
We test your listing rigorously to verify that your products look great and work perfectly in our users' plans.
At your request, or at least once per year, your Land F/X representative will verify your information is up to date, removing discontinued products, adding new products, and verifying the links to your website.

Testimonials
The ease and accuracy with which the platform allows designers to specify our products have helped us gain valuable spec in the market and, more importantly, educate our users on the features and benefits that separate us from our competitors.
The convenience given by Land F/X Manufacturer Connection has revolutionized the way we put together construction documents and specify products. If a manufacturer isn’t in the system, we don’t spec them.
The easier we make it to spec our products, the more likely designers are to use our product – and the better chance we have to be seen by other designers. I truly believe that if we were not in Land F/X, we would not be specified as often as we are.
