Lighting technology and design practice are becoming increasingly complicated. As new methods and capabilities proliferate it can become overwhelming and frustrating to accurately conceive of lighting design outcomes. Join the speakers as they provide a refresher on the foundational lighting understandings and introduce new and improved information to help you better realise your design visions. This presentation will cover essential concepts and address fundamental questions such as illumination levels, LED produced lighting distribution, colour rendering metrics and much more.
