It’s important to note that the IES file holds information about the intensity of the actual light source but that can be overridden.You can either use precisely measured colors using the Temperature mode or just pick a color you like. The color mode allows us to have flexibility when setting up the light color.The major settings of the V-Ray IES Light are quire straight forward to explain.This will make it easier to explain that IES lights try to simulate these lights and how they really look. Since IES lights are all about simulating real architectural light profiles, show some images of light fixtures and the lights they cast to show how different lights have different properties that are defined by their fixture and bulb and lens, etc.Larger light sources usually create more light and softer shadows than smaller lights with the same intensity.

Color and temperature are an important point to touch on with real lights, and how temperature usually defines the color of a light.As an object gets closer to a light source, its lighting exponentially increases in brightness. Unless you’ve already covered this part in another lecture it may be useful to establish certain qualities that all real-world lights posses.
