Modeling fluroscent lamps

Hello everyone. Back again with a new problem concerning the lights. I need some informations on how to model the artificial lights of my building. My questions are basic, because i am new in modeling.

The lights are : fluorescent lamps.

First question: My lamps are 549 mm lenth. how do I model that?

Second question: Ecotect asks for the angle of cut off and hot-spot. Fluoroscent lamp has this angles or it works in all the place?

Last question: When I am modeling the lamp, Ecotect asks for a first and a last point. Are these points connected with the first and the end of the lamp or they are connected with the height of the area which is illuminated? For a fluroscent lamp the lenth should be horizontical or vertical?

Thank everyone in advance for the answers.

Yours
