This new webinar program is designed to give members, educators and the general public access to information about quality lighting. The video recordings in the series can be used for IES section meetings, as an instructional supplement for introductory lighting courses in post-secondary settings, and for anyone interested in knowing more about lighting.

They discuss the lighting design process, how best to improve the process, how best to interact with the other trades, and other pertinent lighting industry topics.

This two-part 2.5 hour presentation was co-produced by the IES, AIA, and IALD. It is a useful learning tool for IES section events, IES emerging professionals, post-secondary institutions and for viewing independently by anyone new to the lighting industry in any of its wonderful facets: www.ies.org/education/electronic-resources/indispensable-lighting-series/
