Name
Specifies the name of the light.
Intensity Factor
Sets the intensity or brightness of the light.
Status
Turns the light on and off. If lighting is not enabled in the drawing, this setting
has no effect.
Photometry
Photometry is available when the LIGHTINGUNITS system variable is set to
1 or 2. Photometry is the measurement of the luminous intensities of visible
light sources.
In photometry, luminous intensity is a measure of the perceived power emitted
by a light source in a particular direction. Luminous flux is the perceived
power in per unit of solid angle. The total luminous flux for a lamp is the
perceived power emitted in all directions. Luminance is the total luminous
flux incident on a surface, per unit area.
