CIE Technical Committees:

  • The technical committees are the basis of the success and activity of the CIE. They consist of experts from around the world who develop reports, recommendations, and standards based on scientific knowledge.
  • All member bodies may provide input by appointing a TC member to a given committee. Consult the Division web sites for lists of currently active committees.

Division 3: Interior Lighting and Lighting Design

TC 3-34

Protocols for Describing Lighting
To establish a catalogue of application-independant descriptors of lighting. To provide relevant, specific, objective definitions of supporting concepts associated with lighting.

The output will be a technical report which will describe a research roadmap intended to stimulate fundamental research into questions relevant to lighting applications. This technical committee follows from the publication of CIE 158:2004 and the two CIE expert symposia on light and lighting and health in 2004 and 2006.
