About this Course
The IES provides insight and access to the work being done in some of the best lighting educational facilities, through the Lighting Education Facility Showcase (LEFS). The four engaging videos in this compilation were filmed in three different facilities.
Description: A uniquely curated series, the presentations in this compilation provide a look into how we perceive light, and the language we use to describe it. To develop lighting concepts, it is important to understand how we perceive light, and the methods of applying light to achieve specific outcomes. Included in this compilation is a series of four videos; Richard Kelly's Elements and Light Distribution, and Concept Development filmed at Parsons - The New School in NYC, Volume of Light filmed at the New York School of Interior Design, and Accent Ratios - Playing with Luminance to Create Contrast filmed at the University of Colorado - Boulder. These videos can be watched in an order you choose, but we recommend watching them in the order they're shown. Click here for more videos from the LEFS series.
