Lighting Analysis

I am looking for the simplest setup to get a graphical map of Footcandle values
from IES lights.  I am actually not needing the radiosity calculation - just the
actual measured output from the lighting fixtures.  I don't want purchase an
actual lighting design program that would typically paint the FC values as a
graphical map.
Thanks for any help/ideas.

Best regards,

Can't you get that kind of information from the manufacturers of the lights? 
Or am I misunderstanding something?

Here is an answere to my question from my friend the Lighting designer:

"You need to use LightScape 3.2.1 for good testing of lighting modeling,
or, spend $1100 and get AGI32 if you really want to do more accurate lighting
calcs but lamer visualization. Lightscape is no longer published.  I am holding
on to 2 or 3 licensed copies.  AutoDESK does
