OK, so everyone monkeying around in the 3D world has heard of the Lithonia Lighting Photometrics collection, but depending on what rendering community you come from, you may or may not know about the Visual program from Acuity Brands Lighting. Grab the Basic version, it's freeware.
It's a hefty lighting collection; 13,582 IES files. Seriously. IES heaven for commercial lighting, especially outdoor architectural, highway, and factory / warehouse / stadium lighting. Although, my most commonly used lamps from here are the linear IES... when applied to long narrow planes they really add realism to things like banks of fluorescent tubes (or even neon) and cuts the render time compared to "making" fluorescent tubes with 6-sided cylinder emitters.
After installing, you'll find those 13,582 .ies files in the Photometry/ directory, fully described and sorted in subdirectories, no less. I'm sure you'll find a lamp or 20 to love. I find this is an indispensable collection, who knows, you might even like the Visual application itself. (which works fine under wine, by the way). Go grab it.
