Nomenclature and Definitions for Illuminating Engineering

Click To Enlarge

ANSI Approved

Advances in lighting technology (e.q. LEDs) have created new lighting terminology. Better measurement techniques have led to more international agreement in fundamental units and constants used in basic laws of physics. There is greater use of SI units today in illuminating engineering. This Standard reflects these changes with several new terms and definitions, and revisions in existing definitions.
