About this Course
The IES offers a series of webinars that provide supplemental education to coincide with a recently revised or new IES Standard (Recommended Practice - RP, Technical Memorandum - TM, etc.). You can view this standard in the IES Webstore.
Description: The paradox of museum lighting is that the same spectral energy used to illuminate museum displays also causes fragile materials like pigment, fabric, wood, and metal to deteriorate. This presentation will provide insight into how to utilize IES’s Recommended Practice for Museum Lighting (RP-30-17) to deal with the conundrum of preserving light-sensitive materials while providing a dynamic visitor experience. Learning Objectives:
By the end of this course learners will be able to...
1. Describe the RP-30 document and recommendations therein, and review document navigation.
2. Identify lighting criteria that impacts the perception and interaction of color.
3. Understand unique challenges within the museum and fine art realm, and relate them to lighting selection and placement.
4. Explore typical lighting solutions for museum exhibitions.

Scott Rosenfeld
Lighting Designer
Scott Rosenfeld is lighting designer at the Smithsonian American Art Museum and Renwick Gallery. Scott’s research focuses on detailing the attributes of light, luminaires, and what makes a successful lighting design. He is especially interested in discovering the relative merits of metrology vs. a designer’s eye. To achieve this goal Scott collaborates with color scientists to learn how light may improve vision, manufactures on how to build a better luminaire and museum conservation scientists to reduce the damage to artifacts. Scott is a Fellow of the Illuminating Engineering Society where he leads an international team of experts to develop ANSI Standards and best practices.
