Case Study: City of Hagerstown Maryland’s Light Department saves time and money with Design Master Photometrics

Design Master Photometrics Helps the City of Hagerstown Light Department Save Money and Do More Work in Less Time

The City of Hagerstown Maryland’s Light Department needed a more efficient method for designing and evaluating lighting projects, as their existing manufacturer-provided software was cumbersome and time-consuming. To improve this process, they turned to Design Master Software and implemented its Design Master Photometrics solution.

By using Design Master Photometrics, the utility’s engineer could quickly create and compare "what-if" scenarios directly within AutoCAD, easily importing fixture data and optimizing layouts. This allowed the department to identify the most cost-effective lighting options, significantly reducing both project time and costs. The solution paid for itself repeatedly through time savings, enabled a reduction in light pollution, and helped the city maintain its commitment to economical service.
