Abstract:
1. A method of producing a rendering representative of an actual target area illuminated by at least one actual light source comprising: a. generating with a computer on a display a virtual target area representative of the actual target area; b. selecting one or more virtual aiming locations relative to the virtual target area; c. selecting one or more virtual light sources for each of the one or more virtual aiming locations, the one or more virtual light sources having corresponding photometric data, the photometric data derived from one or more actual light sources; d. generating a graphical representation of the photometric data and projecting the graphical representation onto the virtual target area from the one or more virtual aiming locations; e. visually indicating portions of the virtual target area exceeding a defined illuminance; f. so that a rendering of illumination of the virtual target area by the virtual light sources is created for viewing and evaluation on the display.
