  click to download IES lighting data
IES files are photometric data files associated with lighting fixtures. They are used to accurately model how light is cast and rendered from a given fixture.

Revit requires that all IES files associated with a model are located in the same place. The proper locations to download and save the files to are:

Revit 9.1:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Autodesk\Revit Building 9.1\Rendering\AccuRenderRedist\SUPPORT\lights

Revit Systems 2:

  Photometric IES
     

Welcome to the Solatube® Photometrics and lighting resources. What are Photometrics?

Photometrics
"Photo" means light & "Metric" means measurement. Describes light output for a specific fixture & light source combination. Here you will find many useful links and documents to help determine how Solatube® can help light your interior space.

Downloads and Links
Solatube® .IES photometric cutsheet and lumen output tables Download or view the Solatube® Photometric cut sheet and lighting table outputs.    Click here to dowload.

Solatube® .IES file
The .zip file contains the Photometric files in IES format for the typical 10” (250 mm), 14” (350 mm) and 21” (530 mm) diameter Solatube® skylight / tubular daylighting devices, and are suitable for use in any standard lighting simulation / design tool. Use these files in conjunction with the appropriate lumen output data as contained and described in the Solatube® IES Photometric cutsheet and lumen output tables. (extracted file will be .ies files).    Click here to download.
