Visualize a Luminaire.

This is useful to check if the the spin, tilt, and rotation is applied correctly.

### Inputs

* #### luminaire \[Required]

A Honeybee Luminaire.

* #### scale

A scalar value to scale the geometry. By default the geometry is normalized to Rhino model units as a base scale. The scalar value is multiplied with this base scale.

### Outputs

* #### report

Reports, errors, warnings, etc.

* #### lum\_poly

Geometric representation of the luminous opening.

* #### lum\_web

Geometric representation of the candela distribution of the luminaire.

* #### lum\_axes

Line representation of the C0-G0 axes of the luminaire.
