Could you build this?
Partial While UI charting is straightforward, accurate parsing of niche photometric file formats (IES LM-63, EULUMDAT) and generating compliant engineering photometric polar diagrams requires domain-specific math.
What it would actually take: Building LumaScope requires a native Swift/macOS app with parsers for IES LM-63 and DIN 5032 EULUMDAT specifications. It requires implementing precise optical calculations (luminous flux, candela distributions, zonal lumen calculations, and UGR ratings) combined with CoreGraphics/Metal polar graphing and standard PDF report generation.
