NOTE Definition according to ISO 10303-46:
The light source entity is determined by the reflectance specified in the surface style rendering. Lighting is applied on a surface by surface basis: no interactions between surfaces such as shadows or reflections are defined.
NOTE Entity adapted from light_source defined in ISO 10303-46.
NOTE In addition to the attributes as defined in ISO10303-46 the following additional properties from ISO/IEC 14772-1:1997 (VRML) are added: ambientIntensity and Intensity. The attribute Name has been added as well (as it is not inherited via representation_item).
HISTORY New entity in IFC2x, renamed and enhanced in IFC2x2.
| # | Attribute | Type | Cardinality | Description | C |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Name | IfcLabel | [0:1] | The name given to the light source in presentation. | X |
| 2 | LightColour | IfcColourRgb | [1:1] | Definition from ISO/CD 10303-46:1992: Based on the current lighting model, the colour of the light to be used for shading. Definition from VRML97 - ISO/IEC 14772-1:1997: The color field specifies the spectral color properties of both the direct and ambient light emission as an RGB value. | X |
| 3 | AmbientIntensity | IfcNormalisedRatioMeasure | [0:1] | Definition from VRML97 - ISO/IEC 14772-1:1997: The ambientIntensity specifies the intensity of the ambient emission from the light. Light intensity may range from 0.0 (no light emission) to 1.0 (full intensity). | X |
| 4 | Intensity | IfcNormalisedRatioMeasure | [0:1] | Definition from VRML97 - ISO/IEC 14772-1:1997: The intensity field specifies the brightness of the direct emission from the ligth. Light intensity may range from 0.0 (no light emission) to 1.0 (full intensity). | X |

| LayerAssignment | IfcPresentationLayerAssignment @AssignedItems | S[0:1] | Assignment of the representation item to a single or multiple layer(s). The LayerAssignments can override a LayerAssignments of the IfcRepresentation it is used within the list of Items. | X | |
| StyledByItem | IfcStyledItem @Item | S[0:1] | Reference to the IfcStyledItem that provides presentation information to the representation, e.g. a curve style, including colour and thickness to a geometric curve. | X | |
