Ityp - Type indicator (0 - point source with no symmetry; 1 - symmetry about
the vertical axis; 2 - linear luminaire; 3 - point source with any other
symmetry. Note: only linear luminaires, Ityp = 2, are being subdivided in
longitudinal and transverse directions)

lsym - Symmetry indicator (0 ... no symmetry; 1 - symmetry about the vertical
axis; 2 - symmetry to plane C0-C180; 3 - symmetry to plane C90-C270; 4 -
symmetry to plane C0-C180 and to plane C90-C270)
