IES files download sites?
Do you have any links which provide nice catalogues of lighting (best with pictures) together with the corresponding IES files for download? I am so confused with those technical names and am tired of downloading and testing them randomly... Or are there any other more efficient methods for searching IES files? Please advise.

Re: IES files download sites?
This thread badly needs to be re-named, as it looks like you are looking for models in IGES format, not IES lighting files.
I sometimes go to the manufacturers' sites to search for .ies files on specific lights that are being used in a project. But it only works sometimes, and takes a lot of searching, and sometimes comparing the headers of the files to figure out which product used them. It's a mess. |

Re: IES files download sites?
Thanks. Same to me. Sometimes I saw the product but failed to find the corresponding IES file. Other times I saw list of IES files but didn't know what they refer to...
HRCO provides the best info so far, but is still difficult for a non-lighting specialist like me to search for the right thing... |

Re: IES files download sites?
You have to think of IES files as a Lighting Designer does. When you design lighting, you choose a light either by knowing what you want or by getting its specification in the catalog.
Once you get the specification and choose the light, then it makes sense to get the IES file for that. Pretty much every single manufacturer out there provides IES files. When you specify the light you want, go to the manufacturer's website and download the photometry for it. Getting an IES file without knowing the light type, without having the catalog and specifications does not make sense. I have 18 thousand IES files in my library, for instance - it's all pretty useless to have them all, since I do not have catalogs for them all. Here at the IESNA website you can find the list of manufacturers that are associated, as well as their websites: http://www.iesna.org/manufacturers/m...earch_form.cfm Hope it helps. Alexander |
