Hello pranayshah

Try FLUCS from here: http://www.eere.energy.gov/buildings/tools_directory/software.cfm/ID=275/pagename=alpha_list

Design mode calculates, using the UK CIBSE design method, the optimum number and spacing of identical luminaires in a rectangular array to provide the required illumination levels on the working surface and to meet the maximum glare requirement. Analysis mode calculates the actual illumination levels due to any number of luminaires of any type, taking into account the reflections from walls, ceiling, floor and partitions. Illumination levels due to daylight through windows can also be calculated separately or combined with the artificial lighting. It includes a large database of manufacturers' luminaires and lamps. This database is editable and data may be imported/exported in CIBSE or IES (North America) format.

You normally don't need a Software Program, have a look at my earlier Post here: http://cr4.globalspec.com/comment/184488/Re-lux-cal

Hope that helps you.

Kind Regards....
