Illuminance Render appears wrong

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I have put some vertical luminaires to lit up the beams from the back but when I render  the light source appears horizontal. I have changed the direction of the light source according to the fixture orientation. It is a simple wall mounted luminaire. 

Please refer the images attached.

Could you please share your thought on this.

Are you you using an IES file? If not, try assigning one and see if that correct the issue.

Thanks for your reply.

I am using the correct photometry for this luminaire.

You’re welcome. We had a similar issue with cove lighting. Swapping out the IES file for another one from different manufacturer fixed it. Go figure.

Good luck.
