4.8.1.9 Lighting Geometry

Elements emitting light provide a 'Lighting' representation. Examples of such elements include lamps and light fixtures. Such representation may be used for 3D rendering or lighting design.

The representation identifier and type and the only allowed single representation item of the 'Lighting' representation are:

The following diagram shows the generic classes and relationships used when applying this concept. In addition, concepts may have particular importance to common or standardised industry practices and scenarios. For these specific usage scenarios, the tables below shows a recommended list of general usage patterns that users may adopt.
