I think I would model it, place the emitter inside so it illuminates de lamp and then hide the lamp from GI so it doesn't create shadows or reflections that could change the IES effect. Maybe it will work.

I tried the IES emitters and it's a great news for Maxwell.
It's really time saver and you can get easier good results than with MW 1.7 ...
..but now I'd like to introduce a new question. How can we model the light fixtures using the ies emitters at the same time?
I mean, the IES profile takes into account the geometry of the light fixtures...so if you don't need to see the light fixture in the scene there's no problem. model a small sphere (how small? 1cm, 1mm diameter?) ... but if you need to see the light fixtures in the scene? how do you model it? How can we obtain the result of the lens litten from the lamp without seeing only the small sphere litten from the iES emitter material?
Hope the question is clear.
Regards
