OpenStudio and Radiance lighting schedule export

Is there a way to apply the lighting schedules that are created by Radiance from one iteration to another? In other words, I have a model that has the envelope finalized, the only modifications I am making are to HVAC equipment. I could save a lot of time, and hard drive space, by running my first simulation with Radiance and then using the same lighting schedules created by that simulation in later simulations, instead of running the radiance simulation every single time I want to see the impact of changing a non-daylighting related parameter. Is this possible?

This would also be helpful for when I need to make modifications to the .idf file that I cannot make in OpenStudio. I would then be able to run a simulation directly in E+ with the Radiance lighting schedules.
