Thank you for your help.Yes,what I want is matching POV-Ray output with some
physical measurements.I have used spectral
render.http://www.lilysoft.org/CGI/SR/Spectral%20Render.htm.

#version 3.7;
global_settings{ assumed_gamma 1.0 }
#declare SpectralWavelength =730;
#include "spectral.inc"

}

light_source {<sun_x,sun_y,sun_z>
             SpectralEmission(E_D65)   //some CIE standard illuminants
             }

#declare n = 0;

#while(defined(Input_geom_file))
    #read(Input_geom_file,x1,y1,z1)
    #read(Input_spec_file,ref)
      box
        {
           -1.55,1.55
           rotate y*-31
           translate <x1-center_x,y1-center_y,z1-center_z>
           pigment {color rgb 1}
           finish {
                 ambient 0
                 diffuse ref
                   }
            }
    #declare n = n + 1;

My solar irradiance in 730nm is 1.33015(w/m^2),and I have converted irradiance
to illuminance with the lm/w in 730nm,then the value of illuminance in 730nm is
0.47262925(cd/m^2).My issue is how can I input the illminance in 730nm?
"light_source {<sun_x,sun_y,sun_z>
             SpectralEmission(E_D65)
             }  "
With this light_source,the illuminance is E_D65.How can I input my illminance?
