There are 59 luminaires in the simulation. \r\n \r\nThe images below are from when the luminaire is scaled inside the ies file and Radiance. This approach muddles up the photometric-web calcs but is fairly straight forward.:\r\n![3-5-2016 6-04-18 pm](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/10361848/13551186/1a87a738-e2ff-11e5-9b5d-0e19ecc523a7.png)\r\n![3-5-2016 6-04-34 pm](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/10361848/13551187/1bcfdce6-e2ff-11e5-950f-f1e7d89d990d.png)\r\nThe other approach is to get the code to read an IES file and then have it arrange the luminaires end-to-end based on input.\r\n![3-5-2016 6-07-52 pm](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/10361848/13551194/b73140e4-e2ff-11e5-81a8-deba7f9b8851.png)\r\n![3-5-2016 6-08-08 pm](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/10361848/13551195/b983ee50-e2ff-11e5-9a1d-a36726ef264b.png)\r\n\r\nFrom a computational perspective, the Radiance settings in both cases are the same. As indicated by the vertical wall scallops in the first case, although Radiance does discretize the luminaire, it doesn't discretize to the extent where it can replicate the image in the second case. The illuminance peaks in both cases are almost the same, however, case 2 seems to be the physically realistic calculation. \r\n\r\nWhen you scale a luminaire in a simulation (in AGI or 3ds Max), are you trying to replicate an end-to-end array as you see in case 2 ? \r\n\r\nEither of these two approaches can be implemented in Honeybee although doing the first one would most likely add a computational overhead from Radiance as we'd have to crank up the settings in the whole scene and also force further source subdivision."}}
