Is there a database with real-world data for Iray materials and lights?

Hey, does anyone know if there is some sort of database anywhere on the web that has accurate real-world data that's useable to create materials and lights for Iray?

    I haven't found a one-stop-shop for this kind of info, it's kind of spread all over the web. But starting up a thread with this subject is a great idea, and we could compile links to data here.

    A nice resource I recently found is the Physically Based Rendering Encyclopedia project: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Fb9_KgCo0noxROKN4iT8ntTbx913e-t4Wc2nMRWPzNk/edit

    Here's a link right to its section on various material values: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Fb9_KgCo0noxROKN4iT8ntTbx913e-t4Wc2nMRWPzNk/edit#heading=h.he2pxwn2p5v7

    There are more exhaustive collections of values available out there for sure too. Post em up, everyone.

    There are a lot of sites that give Lumen, Lumen Intensity and Kelvin setting for all types of lights. Also look up real world camera (SLR or DSLR) settings for different scenarios like Interior and various light levels for daylight, full sun, overcast etc.

    Also don't forget the IES profiles, that almost any lighting site has. These are real world data/performance files in a standardized format for just about every bulb/fixture ever made. They get attached to the lights.
