Frameworks
Goals
Light is a human essential. It impacts our behaviour, wellness, social life, and our economic activity. Over time, humans have developed the technology to create artificial light, allowing social and economic activity to extend into the hours of darkness. At the same time, scientific knowledge, and the application of this knowledge, have created a world of possibilities for lighting technologies and their varying characteristics. Lighting is now a very complex business and it has to fulfil a lot of requirements. This two-day technical seminar provides enlightening answers to frequently asked questions, such as:
- What is light, and what technologies to produce it are at our disposal?
- What are the differences between lumen and lux or candela and candela / m²?
- Why are uniformity and glare important?
- What is LED technology?
