Most people design lighting systems to meet illuminance recommendations, but what we actually see is determined by luminance. Join in on this lively hands-on workshop to learn more about the difference between illuminance and luminance, design criteria for luminance and exitance, the devices for measuring these quantities, and, taking advantage of the conference venue, actually measuring the illuminance and luminance of various lighting systems and spaces for comparison with your visual experiences. You’ll also go home with a luminance measuring app for your cell phone or tablet that will enable you to take luminance measurements on your own to further explore the lighting of your everyday environments and commission your lighting projects.
