- Abstract
- The 48 papers presented July 29-August 2 at the IESNA conference in Baltimore, MD, spanned the wide variety of areas of interest to the lighting professional. Topics included light sources and conservation issues for displays; efficiency standards for lamps; daylight measurement and modelling; lamp performace including fluorescent, incandescent, metal halide, high pressure sodium, and special sources; tunnel and used in photographing and videotaping cultural assets and objects of art. Damage may be caused by both ultraviolet and infrared radiation exposure during photography because illuminance levels are much higher than needed for display purposes. The authors identified characteristics of three lamps with dichroic filters that appear to reduce infrared radiation and water evaporation from objets d'art. The lamps are now in development.
