3     .SH NAME
4     lamp.tab \- table of lamp colors and lumen depreciation factors
5     .SH DESCRIPTION
6     Lamp.tab contains a table of lamp data. The lines are formatted thus:
7     .IP
8     .RI / "light source name re" /
9     .I x y m
10     .PP
11     or
12     .IP
13     .RI / "light source alias re" /
14     .RI ( "light source name" )
15     .PP
16     The first form gives the color and depreciation of a lamp whose name
17     matches the light source name regular expression. The second gives
18     an alternate name for a light source. Comments beginning with '#'
19     are supported.
20     .SS Notes
21     .IP \(bu
22     Basic regular expressions (original grep) are used.
23     .IP \(bu
24     .I x
25     and
26     .I y
27     are CIE x and y coordinates. These give the color of the light. See
28     .UR https://www.iso.org/standard/74165.html
29     ISO/CIE 11664-3:2019
30     .UE
31     \*(lqColorimetry \(em Part 3: Cie Tristimulus Values\*(rq for
32     definitions.
33     .IP \(bu
34     .I m
35     is a "coefficient of depreciation." This is a multiplier used to
36     reduce the output of a lamp to the value it would have after it has
37     been in operation for its expected life. It is used to predict the
38     output of a lighting system comprised of many lamps. See the
39     .I IES Lighting Handbook
40     for more information.
41     .IP \(bu
42     Any character except '#' may be used to delimit the light source name
43     regular expression; '/' is conventional, but not required.
44     .IP \(bu
45     Comments begin with '#' and may occur at the end of any line.
46     .IP \(bu
47     Blank lines are ignored.
