Blender Cycles: Black Body Lights Reference (New Feature in Blender 2.69)

Hi everybody. Today I have done a reference of the new node Blackbody. This node produces a range of colors according to the temperature of a body. It comes from a physical theory which explains that the color of the radiation doesn't depend on the shape or composition of the body, only in its temperature. This node is useful to set emission color for materials: bulbs, lamps, sky or sun.

I have used two node setups in this reference (you can see 6000ºK to see the difference):

A. Emission Setup: It is a simple setup, with lower strength for camera rays. So you can appreciate the light from the object in a dark scene.

B. Lamp Setup: I have added glossiness to the material and mixed with Emission to get a material similar to lamps.

This is the bulb node group included, useful for lamps:

EDIT: You can download all these materials in blendswap.
