Wavelengths, measurements, and science that define modern lighting practice
Overview
Join us on April 29th and 30th for Light for Life®: Exploring the Lighting Spectrum, a two-day, eight-hour virtual symposium examining the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that defines the practice of lighting. From ultraviolet to infrared, sessions explore specific nanometer ranges and their distinct properties, design implications, and biological or environmental effects. Other sessions step back to consider the spectrum more broadly—how it is measured, described, and interpreted in lighting practice, and how IES standards and methods help bring structure to that understanding. Together, these perspectives reveal the spectral complexity underlying what we commonly refer to as white light. Participants will receive eight (8) IES continuing education credits (CEUs).
Registrants will receive the login link one day prior to the event.
