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). These videos feature students and faculty and capture a wide range of lighting topics and facility-specific features. White Lighting and Color Appearance is a LEFS video from New York School of Interior Design.
Description: In this lecture-format video, enjoy a comprehensive look at various aspects of the color of light, and the impact on the objects that we see. Topics include the science and history behind CCT, CRI and TM-30 as well as their strengths and limitations. Learn how to identify the important color shifts and spectral variations of a light source, and see demonstrations of each.
