I have done a try with your advice,but the image is black.

I have 40000 points.It stands for 40000 surfaces.Corresponding,there is 40000
 reflecities.Irradiance(w/m^2) is my real solar engry.I expect the result is
 radiance(w/m^2*str)or luminance(cd/m^2),but I donot know what it is?And how can
 I get my desired?
