Simulating electric lighting in LBT using .ies files

Hey @Alexwickes ,

I hope you don’t mind that I moved this to a new topic. When you posted the question on the release notes, it wasn’t clear if you were talking about integration with IES VE via the new gbXML export/import or electric lighting via the Illumination Engineer’s Society definition for electric lights (.ies files). Now that I know it’s the latter, I can confirm that this is essentially the only Legacy Honeybee Radiance feature that is not in LBT version 1.3.

We are definitely committed to adding it in, though. I can probably add it sometime before the next stable release in a few months. Can you confirm that it’s just for the Point-In-Time recipes that you need the luminaires implemented?

If that’s true, implementation should be pretty straightforward.
