Forum for Illumination Research, Engineering, and Science (FIRES)
The Forum for Illumination Research, Engineering, and Science (FIRES) is the IES online space for our community to openly share and discuss the latest research and innovations in illumination science and engineering. As a space for the free dissemination of knowledge and exchange of ideas, FIRES is intended to foster relationships between individuals and larger institutions, and to reignite the emphasis on science and engineering in the lighting industry. Read articles by Ian Ashdown, Doug Steel, Bob Karlicek, and Eric Bretschneider. In our latest article, IES Trailblazer & Icon Kit Cuttle describes a new method for illumination metrics in The Lighting Design Objectives (LiDOs) Procedure. Interested in writing for FIRES? We are currently soliciting new articles. For more information on submitting a proposal, check out our Policies and Submissions page.NEW! IES eLearning
