IES Announces Three Recently Approved Revised Standards

The IES has announced the approval of three recently revised standards:

ANSI/IES RP-8-25 Recommended Practice: Lighting Roadway and Parking Facilities 

This Recommended Practice is a compilation of lighting design techniques and criteria, all offered for quality roadway lighting solutions. This update covers multiple changes to RP-8.

ANSI/IES LS-5-25 Lighting Science: Color 

Complete overhaul, this document covers the basics of color science, including color vision fundamentals and an overview of colorimetry. It also describes color terminology, color properties of light sources, and the use of color in applied lighting, which includes discussions of common color metrics.

ANSI/IES RP-30-25: Recommended Practice: Lighting Museums 

Effective exhibit and museum lighting, balancing exhibition presentation goals (enrich the visitor experience) with conservation techniques (intended to protect artifacts for appreciation by many generations to come.)

These three updated standards have not yet been added to the IES Lighting Library, but are expected to be added soon, here.
