Illuminating the Complicated
So much has changed in the past 50 years in the field of professional lighting design.
Fifty years ago, we calculated average foot-candles on a workplane underneath linear fluorescent lighting in an empty room. Today, professional lighting design has become considerably more complicated. It encompasses a multitude of lighting technologies, integration with other building systems, a focus on human-centric design, advanced controls, and a commitment to sustainability. Therefore, we aim to support lighting professionals by advancing, supporting, promoting, and contributing to innovation, science, and engineering in lighting, including lighting for health, horticulture, architecture, and entertainment.
All Things Lighting® Association expounds on scientific research related to lighting in these areas:
- Architectural & Roadway

- Dark Sky
- Entertainment
and more. Our Research Articles and White Papers explain this research as it relates to professional lighting design principles and practices, with detailed analyses and copious references to the scientific literature.
