LiteMari Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 (edited) ?s on the Electrical Services Specification: There are three angles that can be speced in Light Data: -90 degree Tilt Angle seems to be what is needed for a std. recessed can on a flat ceiling that is aimed straight down, correct? What is Cut Off Angle? Am I correct that this should be set the beam angle of the flood light being used? What is Direction Angle? Altering from the default of 0 degrees to say 60 degrees has no impact in my camera view. It also seems to only accept positive values. Offset The default for From Base is 1/2". Is this the distance the bulb socket is from the top of the recessed can? The default drop off rate is set at 1.5; I assume that this accounts for the lack of uniformity of light dispersion from the center of the beam to the periphery. Is 1.5 a reasonable value to use for a halogen flood light? Can you set the Kelvin for the light source? I see that you can adjust the color with "white" as default, but what RGB would one use for 3000K? Thanks for cutting my learning curve.
