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.

24 .I x
25 and
26 .I y
27 are CIE x and y coordinates. These give the color of the light. See

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.
