Hi @ all,

i created an IES file from measured data. This is the IES file:
---------------------------------
TILT=NONE

0 2.5 5 7.5 10 12.5 15 17.5 20 22.5 25 27.5 30

Converted to Radiance, the file looks like this:

-------------------------------------------

What i don't understand is the factor of  '75.3396' in line 3 of 
brightdata. Isn't it supposed to be '1'?
Thanks and regards,

Christian
