Hi @RMAK,

Sure, you'd do it the same as you would model any other electric lighting in OpenStudio. You could start with an existing lighting load schedule and modify it to reflect the actual luminaire load of your LED light fixture (source plus driver). OpenStudio and EnergyPlus do not model the actual photometric distribution of luminaires, so you don't need photometry files; you just need to know the individual load(s). Make sense?

And before you ask, the OpenStudio Radiance support does not currently support spatial distribution simulations, either. =(
