High dynamic range images (HDRI) can be used as light source in rendering applications. Instead of providing a byte value (0-255) for each color channel (red, green, blue) and pixel, they provide a floting point value for each channel and pixel thus increasing the maximum storage capacities per color channel and pixel. This increased information can be used as environmental lighting (IBL, image based lighting) in a rendering application. Usually no other light sources are used if working with an HDR image as light source.
