Entity definition
NOTE  Definition according to ISO 10303-46:
The light source ambient entity is a subtype of light source. It lights a surface independent of the surface's orientation and position.
NOTE  Corresponding ISO 10303 entity: light_source_ambient. Please refer to ISO/IS 10303-46:1994, p. 31 for the final definition of the formal standard.
NOTE  In addition to the attributes as defined in ISO 10303-46 the additional property from ISO/IEC 14772-1:1997 (VRML) AmbientIntensity is inherited from the supertype.

2LightColourIfcColourRgb 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
3AmbientIntensityIfcNormalisedRatioMeasure? 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
4IntensityIfcNormalisedRatioMeasure? 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
