July 11: IES Webinar — Metrics in Motion: Flicker & Glare

May 29, 2019

Flicker and glare are visual phenomena that have several things in common: both can range from mildly annoying to seriously disabling, both can be made worse by poorly designed LED lighting and better by good LED lighting, and both are the subject of research by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) that is helping to further industry standard metrics, methods of measurement, and recommended practice.

This webinar will provide an up-to-date evaluation of progress in addressing these critical lighting quality factors, their implications for energy-efficient LED lighting, and where additional research is needed. Webinar participants are eligible for one (1) IES Continuing Education Unit (CEU).

Presenter Naomi Miller has been a senior lighting research scientist since joining PNNL in 2009. Naomi’s work focuses on bridging the knowledge gap between technology and application. She works with clients and stakeholders to overcome the hurdles facing the adoption of energy-efficient lighting products. Her research also focuses on lighting quality and the human impacts of light. Previously, Naomi was the Principal of Naomi Miller Lighting Design in Troy, New York. With over 30 architectural lighting design awards, Naomi is a nationally recognized expert in the field of lighting. She chaired the IES Quality of the Visual Environment committee for eight years and was a principal member of the writing team for the IES’s [IT]Light + Design: A Guide to Designing Quality Lighting for People and Buildings[IT]. She currently serves on the IES Board of Directors and is a Fellow of both the IES and IALD.
