[EnergyPlus_Support] lux and watts

["vincent lacour vlacour@xxxxxxxxx [EnergyPlus_Support]" <EnergyPlus_Support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everybody,

In energyplus (v8.0) the lights object is all about watts.  The Daylighting:controls object is all about lux.  How can I take into acount the type of lamp the project will be using?  A led converts 8 W into 400 lumen whereas it takes 40W for an incandescent light bulb to produce the same 400lumen.

Cheers

vincent
