Attend This Webinar on Human Effects of LED Community Lighting

March 8, 2017

This webinar, presented by Lighting Research Center scientists Dr. Mark Rea and Dr. Mariana Figueiro on Wednesday, March 15 from 1:30-2:30 p.m. ET, will address the AMA report cautioning the public about the use of In-Ga-N based LEDs.

The report, Human and Environmental Effects of Light Emitting Diode Community Lighting, has initiated a great deal of discussion among lighting specifiers, policy makers, and the public, many of whom are confused about how to address the recommendations made in the report.

This webinar will provide:

  • practical, scientific advice to address the issues raised in the AMA report
  • direction on correctly and accurately measuring and specifying indoor and outdoor lighting
  • guidance to address the problems of misapplying short-hand metrics to the topic of the health and environmental impacts of light and lighting

This seminar is designed for

  • architects, engineers, and other lighting specifiers
  • facility managers and administrators
  • building owners and developers
  • roadway engineers
  • municipal policy makers
  • other professionals interested in gaining a better understanding of light and lighting

Cost: US$25 per person; free for LRC Partners and LRC Alliance members.
