About  the  Course
This webinar focuses on LED and other solid state lighting (SSL), but still includes legacy lighting products, such as incandescent, halogen, fluorescent and high intensity and some comparison between these new and old technologies. Light and various lighting terms are listed and defined. Both the visual and non-visual or biologic parts of the visual system are discussed. Since Human Centric Lighting is becoming the next big step in lighting, and may become more significant than Edison creating the light bulb, that is introduced. Glossary and Acronyms documents will also be provided.
