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 with the addition
23 of "\\<" for beginning of word and "\\>" for end-of-word.
24 .IP \(bu
25 .I x
26 and
27 .I y
28 are CIE x and y coordinates. These give the color of the light. See

34 .IP \(bu
35 .I m
36 is a "coefficient of depreciation." This is a multiplier used to
37 reduce the output of a lamp to the value it would have after it has
38 been in operation for its expected life. It is used to predict the
39 output of a lighting system comprised of many lamps. See the
40 .I IES Lighting Handbook
41 for more information.
42 .IP \(bu
43 Any character except '#' may be used to delimit the light source name
44 regular expression; '/' is conventional, but not required.
45 .IP \(bu
46 Regular expressions may contain '\\' followed by the delimiter
47 character; aliases may contain '\\' followed by ')'.
48 .IP \(bu
49 Comments begin with '#' and may occur at the end of any line.
50 .IP \(bu
51 Blank lines are ignored.
