The global horizontal radiation taken as inputs for the lightloading function is 'irradiance.txt file'. Assuming that non Belgium occupant still act as Belgium ones and that their appliances are also similar, changing the irradiance file with another one would still give relevant results. I have given the weather file as an argument of the IEAS_feeder class, but still wondering if I am missing something with the approach...

The lighting load is computed in residential.py, here.
The irradiance data are minutely data starting at midnight first of January. There are assumptions in the code about when the lights are on. For example they switch off when irradiance is above 200W. If you are fine with those, then to use irradiance data from another location you can either replace the irradiance.txt file with a new one, or indeed make the file name a parameter that you can pass on. If you pass the argument correctly, then I don't see any problem. There is no other place where this is used.
