secondary sources whose contributions can be computed more efficiently by |

This type of optimization is most useful for windows and skylights which |
| 25 |
|
represent concentrated sources of indirect illumination. |

|
.I Mkillum |

|
These are best handled respectively by the ambient calculation |
| 30 |
|
and the secondary source types in RADIANCE. |
