Validation of the spectral radiosity calculation tool LUMOS in regards to the CIE TR 171 test scenarios for lighting simulation software

To validate the spectral radiosity simulation program LUMOS, the software is tested against a set of test scenarios, described in the Technical Report 171 of the International Commission on Illumination. Although not all test scenarios are applicable to the LUMOS software, the overall simulation results correspond well to the experimental and analytical reference data, displaying an error of less than 6% for all but one reference scenarios. This confirms that LUMOS is a suitable tool with the capacity to deliver accurate photometric results.
