Building on the information provided in
the Live! from the LRC seminar "the Truth about Outdoor Lighting" presented
in March 2004, LRC researchers Dr. John Van Derlofske and Dr. Michele
McColgan will present a more advanced seminar on outdoor lighting. The
seminar will include information on recent research on nighttime vision;
outdoor lighting fixtures; the interaction of human vision, perception and
various types of lighting at low light levels; effective outdoor lighting
design and application; and the measurement and mitigation of light
pollution. The seminar will include information from recent LRC research on
metrics to measure and predict light pollution from planned lighting
installations, as well as research being done to help develop a new and
better classification system for outdoor lighting fixtures. This
seminar is worth 2 CEUs. |
