   You're not alone... and I'm not kidding. I was going only for a 
simple  automatic lighting system, but finally Ive implemented an entire 
"color management" system, which Lightsys uses to convert spectrums into 
rgb colors (which is only a little part of what the includes can do).

   I'm afraid that to use all the set of macros properly, you need to 
have first some good knowledge about professional/scientific color 
management (which I don't have). Anyhow, for regular scenes you can do 
as me: just use the lightsys macros with the predefined spectrums, and 
play a bit with the brightness and the white point to get the feel you want.
