A week ago, I started on a course of study from Philips Lighting University. I’m learning some very interesting background to how lighting works, how we see and perceive, how to measure, and more. It’s a very interesting subject and I am grateful to Philips for the opportunity to study up a little.
It’s important to know the terms and technology so we can converse and communicate. This includes raising our ability to hear from other people and understand.
My plan is to do some more night light tours soon to show examples of good and bad lighting. Hopefully, through some course work, I will come to know more of the background of this interesting subject. Light Pollution’s effects branch out into so many sciences, and while I can’t be an expert in all of them, I don’t need to reinvent the wheel either. There is so much to read and learn about lighting and light pollution to be found. Will keep me busy for awhile!
If people have ideas for night-tours locations in Cumberland County, PA, I would appreciate suggestions. As I find and qualify good resources, I will add them to the Links page. Would appreciate good links if you know one.
