The Dimming Lamp Color Temperature Shift and Color Filter parameters
are also for the appearance of the light from the fixture in renderings. You
can apply a predefined lamp curve to affect the color and intensity of lights
when they are dimmed. You can also apply a color filter to change how the
light appears coming from the fixture.
Using Fixture Families as Intelligent Objects
Fixture families can do more than represent the geometry of the light
fixtures used in your projects. You can add intelligence to your fixture
families to make them useful for engineering and design decisions.
Using Parameters
As with any kind of family you create, the parameters you use provide
the intelligence within your lighting fixture families, making them easily
modifiable and useful for calculations.
Use family parameters to constrain the geometry of a fixture or to add data

so be sure to use them only for data that is not necessary to show on your
construction documents.
