John Dollus Posted July 16, 2002 Share Posted July 16, 2002 What you want does not exist. IES photometry is data collected by testing the energy output of a specific fixture. The lamp type is only one component of this data. Your best bet would be to find a manufacturer that provides fairly basic housings that can accomodate several lamp types. Unfortunately, you will not be able to find all lamp types as the housings vary a great deal based on the application (i.e. you may not find a housing that accepts both metal halide and incandescent). If you are only concerned with color temperature and not the actual distribution, you can use the color presets to force the lamp type in your luminare properties section in Lightscape.

John Dollus Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 'Concepts in Architectural Lighting' by David Egan It is a great book on lighting basics and I highly recommend it. Also, the Lightscape manuals are a really good source as well. John D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
