This two-part 2.5 hour presentation was co-produced by the IES, AIA, and IALD. It is a useful learning tool for IES section events, IES emerging professionals, post-secondary institutions and for viewing independently by anyone new to the lighting industry in any of its wonderful facets: www.ies.org/education/electronic-resources/indispensable-lighting-series/
