I hope I'm doing this correctly.. can anyone give me some advice?
I'm modeling a Source 4 10 degree ellipsoidal spotlight
On the web, I found this pdf which contains photometric data
http://www.productionadvantageonline.com/pdf_files/410.pdf

By looking at the cosine curve on page 2, I gathered these numbers - degrees
vs candela
0           .5          1            1.5         2           2.5         3
3.5         4           4.5         5            5.4   90.00
82000 81000  80000  76000   70000  62000   53000 45000   36000  27000
16000   0      0
I'm not sure if I should double the angles - in that the chart goes from 0
to 5, yet this is a 10 degree light

from the table on the upper right of page 2,
750 Watt lamp -- 21900 lumens (tho I guess eis2rad doesn't use this number?)

So I put it into a eis file like this:
TILT=NONE
1    21900    1    12  1  1  1 -.6 0 0
1 1 750
0     .5     1      1.5     2      2.5     3     3.5     4     4.5     5
5.4   90.00
82000 81000  80000  76000   70000  62000   53000 45000   36000 27000   16000
0     0

I left my RwR book at home, so I don't remember the meaning of all the other
numbers.
Does this seem correct? Since this is the first time I've tried doing this,
I mostly want to know if I'm looking for the right numbers, and using them
correctly

Thanks, Rob Fitzsimmons
