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
