IES Luminaire Zone - [source code]

This component is to be used for specifying the location of luminaires for electric lighting simulations.
 -
 For external lighting applications the best option would be to use the aimingPoint_ option to specify where all the luminaires should be aimed to.
 In case luminaires are being aimed by specifying spin, tilt and orientation angles, the following conventions apply:

1. spin : specifies the rotation of a luminaire about its G0 axis.
2. tilt: species the rotation of a luminaire around the Y axis.
3. orientation: specifies the rotation of a luminaire around the Z axis. The recommended sequence of applying rotations is tilt,orientation and spin. _ The aiming conventions followed in this component are based on the IES LM-63-2002 and were tested against indoor lighting simulations with AGI32 software.

Inputs

• ptsList [Required]

  List of points/3d coordinates where the luminaires are to be located.

• spin [Default]

  A number represeting the luminaire spin angle in degrees. This can also be a list of spin angles that match the _ptsList.

• tilt [Default]

  A number represeting the luminaire tilt angle in degrees. This can also be a list of tilt angles that match the _ptsList.

• orientation [Default]

  A number represeting the luminaire rotation angle in degrees. This can also be a list of orientation angles that match the _ptsList.

• aimingPoint [Optional]

  A point represeting the location at which the photometric axis of the luminaires should be aimed. This can also be a list of points that match the _ptsList.

• customLamp [Optional]

  A custom lamp definition from the "Honeybee_IES Custom Lamp" component.

Outputs

• readMe!

  The execution information, as output and error streams

• luminaireZone

  List of coordinates and rotation angles for luminaires
