Chubic Pro Official Launch: A Lighting Design Revolution

In May 2025, aecolight, based in Chuo Ward, Tokyo, announced the official release of its next-generation lighting planning tool, Chubic Pro. Following a successful beta phase, Chubic Pro is set to enhance how lighting designs are created, making it accessible for both industry professionals and everyday users.

What is Chubic?

Chubic is a cloud-based lighting planning tool designed to answer the common question, "What kind of lighting suits this space?" Users can easily upload floor plans, and Chubic generates tailored lighting suggestions suitable for various room purposes. The platform's user-friendly interface allows anyone—regardless of their lighting expertise—to prepare and organize their lighting planning in just a few clicks. Users can try one project for free directly through their browser before deciding on a paid plan.

Exciting New Features of Chubic

With the official rollout of Chubic, both free and Pro plans have received impressive new features that enhance the flexibility and precision of lighting design. These updates include:

Multi-Type Fixture Suggestions

By considering the ambiance and purpose of the space, Chubic now automatically recommends lighting plans that combine different fixture types such as recessed lights, ceiling lights, spotlights, and pendant lamps. This innovation addresses the often-overwhelming choice of selecting the right fixtures, providing instant, professional-grade combinations based on manufacturer options and budget constraints.

Three Plans at Once

Instead of generating just one proposal, users can now receive three distinct lighting plans featuring various fixture combinations and layout patterns. This advancement allows users to compare the features of each option and select the plan that best fits their space. Chosen plans can be adopted directly or customized according to personal preferences.

Who Benefits from Chubic?

Chubic serves a diverse range of users, from architectural firms and construction contractors to interior planners and individual homeowners. Here are a few scenarios where Chubic becomes an essential tool:

• - Designers on a Deadline: Architects and interior designers seeking to maintain quality while speeding up their proposal process can leverage Chubic’s remarkable efficiency.
• - Contractors Seeking Visual Appeal: Construction staff wanting to provide clients with stylish space aesthetics can confidently utilize the platform.
• - Homeowners in Need of Guidance: Individuals with existing floor plans who feel uncertain about lighting can benefit greatly from Chubic’s intuitive design.

Chubic acts as a supportive partner in overcoming the typical roadblocks of lighting planning, making the process straightforward and stress-free.

Details of the Chubic Pro Plan

The Chubic Pro version is available for around 3,200 yen per month (tax included) with a yearly payment option that reduces the cost by approximately 25%. Key features include:

• - Unlimited lighting design project creation
• - Discounts of up to 52% on selected fixtures
• - Priority support for Pro users (details available on the FAQ page of the website)

In contrast, the free version allows only one lighting design project and offers discounts of 47% on fixtures.

According to Jimmy Chu, the CEO of aecolight and head of Chubic's development, "Chubic Pro is not merely a monetization of the beta period; it is a refined tool developed from feedback received while addressing real-world lighting concerns. Our goal is to provide a resource that enables anyone—regardless of their expertise in lighting design—to produce ideal lighting proposals. We aspire to make adaptable lighting design much more accessible."
