I have Revit Structure 2009.  I want to learn about using lights, but can't find any families to load.  Help files say the Structure comes with several, but I can't find them.  Does anyone know the default path where light fixture families are located?

 Thanks very much.

THanks for the replies.  The help files clearly state that Revit Structure contains light fixtures.  Here is a quote:

"In Revit Structure, a lighting fixture is a model element that emits light from one or more light sources. A lighting fixture is defined by a Revit lighting fixture family.

Revit Structure provides several lighting fixture families for wall lights, ceiling lights, table lamps, floor lamps, exterior lighting, and other types of lighting fixtures. You can use the Family Editor to design your own lighting fixtures. You can also download additional lighting fixture families from the Revit Web Content Library and other sources."

 Search for light fixtures and this comes up in the Structure help files.

I have no folder in the library for light fixtures.  So now I wonder if my IT department did not install all of the content, which would not be the first time.  They have a habit of deciding for themselves what we need, not asking us directly.
