What Is Lumex

Lumex is Webority's browser-based lightning risk assessment software. It turns the full IEC 62305:2024 method, not a simplified estimator, into an automated, auditable engine, so your team models a structure once and gets the eight risk components, the R1-R4 risks, and the resulting protection decisions from a single source of truth.

Lumex replacing fragile spreadsheet and document lightning risk workflows

Why Lightning Risk Teams Need It

Traditional lightning risk assessment lives in fragile spreadsheets where formulas break and Word templates where the audit trail goes missing. A day of that manual work can instead be delivered as a signed, standard-compliant report in a single sitting, with every number traced back to the clause and coefficient behind it.

Because Lumex is a custom-built lightning risk platform rather than a generic calculator, the risk math stays deterministic while the workflow is shaped around how firms actually deliver assessments. It runs on a cloud-native architecture, so multi-site projects and multiple engineers work from one source of truth as your volumes grow.

Built to IEC 62305:2024

Lumex implements the current third edition of the standard, including Corrigendum 1 to Part 2, so your assessments reflect the methodology in force today.

IEC 62305-1 general principles

Thunderstorm warning systems, referenced as part of the 2024 edition so warning measures sit within the broader protection picture.

R1 to R4 risk model and ground strike-point density
R1-R4 & NSG

The four risks assessed against their tolerable thresholds, R1 10⁻⁵, R2 10⁻³ and R3 10⁻⁴ per year with R4 on a cost-benefit basis, using ground strike-point density (NSG), the 2024 replacement for flash density.

How Lumex Runs the IEC 62305 Risk Workflow

Six guided steps take an assessment from a blank structure to a signed, standard-compliant report, with the calculation traceable at every stage.

Describe the structure and environment Compute collection areas and event rates Evaluate the eight risk components Assess R1 to R4 against tolerable thresholds Model what-if protection scenarios Review, sign off and issue the report
01

Describe the Structure and Environment

Capture the building dimensions, location, environment, and the services entering the structure. This defines the inputs the IEC 62305-2 risk model needs before any calculation begins.

02

Compute Collection Areas and Event Rates

Lumex derives the collection area using Ad = L·W + 2·(3H)·(L+W) + π·(3H)², then the dangerous-event rate Nd = NSG · Ad · CD · 10⁻⁶ from local ground strike-point density (NSG), the 2024-edition replacement for flash density.

03

Evaluate the Eight Risk Components

The engine computes each of the eight risk components, RA, RB, RC, RM, RU, RV, RW, and RZ, from the damage probabilities and loss factors, so every contribution to the overall risk is accounted for.

04

Assess R1-R4 Against Tolerable Thresholds

The four risks are compared to their tolerable thresholds, R1 = 10⁻⁵/yr, R2 = 10⁻³/yr, R3 = 10⁻⁴/yr, and R4 on a cost-benefit basis, so protection decisions are grounded in the standard.

05

Model What-If Protection Scenarios

Test different LPS classes (I, II, III) and Type 1 surge-protection (SPD) coordination and watch the risks recalculate in real time, so you can justify the protection measures you recommend.

06

Review, Sign Off and Issue the Report

An author review and sign-off step precedes a branded, audit-ready report, generated directly from the assessment so the numbers in the document always match the ones in the engine.

What Lumex Changes for Each Role

Lightning risk assessment software is a delivery and accountability tool, not just a calculator. It changes how four groups work, and supports the wider digital transformation of how assessments get done.

01
For Electrical Consultants

Faster assessments with traceable numbers, so the report carries a clear line from each result back to the standard and to your professional sign-off.

02
For MEP & Design Firms

One workspace for many projects and sites, so protection decisions stay consistent across a portfolio instead of living in scattered spreadsheets.

03
For LPS Installers

What-if scenarios for LPS class and SPD coordination make it easier to justify the protection measures you install against the assessed risk.

04
For Auditors & Inspectors

An append-only audit log and periodic inspection reports give reviewers a defensible record of how each assessment was reached and signed off.

Frequently Asked Questions

Lumex is lightning risk assessment software that automates the IEC 62305 methodology. It lets electrical consultants, MEP firms, and lightning protection specialists model a structure, compute the R1-R4 risks against the standard's tolerable thresholds, trace every coefficient back to the standard, and generate audit-ready reports, replacing fragile spreadsheet-and-document workflows with a single, deterministic platform.

Lumex is built to IEC 62305:2024, the third edition of the standard, including Corrigendum 1 to Part 2. It covers all four parts, IEC 62305-1 (general principles), IEC 62305-2 (risk management), IEC 62305-3 (physical damage and life hazard), and IEC 62305-4 (electrical and electronic systems), and reflects the 2024 move from flash density to ground strike-point density (NSG). It also references IEC 62793 for thunderstorm warning systems.

Traditional lightning risk assessment relies on spreadsheets and document templates where formulas can break, versions drift, and there is no reliable audit trail. Lumex computes the eight risk components (RA, RB, RC, RM, RU, RV, RW, RZ) and the resulting R1-R4 risks with a deterministic engine, so the same inputs always produce the same outputs. Every value can be traced to the relevant coefficient, and reports are generated directly from the assessment.

Lumex is designed for electrical consultants, MEP and design firms, and lightning protection system (LPS) installers and auditors, the professionals who are accountable for lightning risk assessments and the reports that carry their sign-off. Each role works within a shared, multi-project workspace scoped to their responsibilities.

Lumex applies role-based access control across its Admin, Project Manager, and Sales Manager roles, keeps each firm's data isolated under a multi-tenant model, and maintains an append-only audit log of edits and approvals. It aligns with India's DPDP Act, supports SAML 2.0 single sign-on, and targets a 99.9% uptime service-level agreement.

No. Every risk value is computed straight from the IEC 62305:2024 coefficients, and the calculation is deterministic, so the same inputs always produce the same outputs. An optional AI assistant can help draft the report narrative and rank mitigation options, but it never writes, edits, or overrides a risk value.

Lumex generates a branded, audit-ready assessment report, typically 10 to 14 pages, covering the structure model, the R1-R4 computation, and protection recommendations with an engineer sign-off. It also produces a 2 to 3 page periodic inspection report to IEC 62305-3, and every result carries a coefficient trace, so the document is defensible. Reports can be shared as a PDF or a secure owner link.
