The Customer Is Always Right
(The Future of OLED lighting) |
“Even with all the chatter surrounding OLEDs, proponents are well-advised to remember this simple maxim: people buy luminaires, not technology.” By Ian Ashdown and Brent York in the March 2010 issue of LD+A (http://www.ies.org/lda/members_contact.cfm).

Radiosity: A Programmer's Prospective  |
By Ian Ashdown, P. Eng., LC, FIES (1994) is a 500-page undergraduate-level textbook on the mathematics of synthesizing photorealistic images using radiosity methods. It includes C++ source code for a fully-functional radiosity renderer that runs under MS-Windows. Out of print since 1998, the book is now available free (as in beer).

| Thinking Photometrically II |
On May 29, 2001, byHeart Consultants CTO Ian Ashdown presented the "Thinking Photometrically II" workshop at Lightfair International in Las Vegas, NV. The objectives of this three-hour workshop were:
- An in-depth understanding of photometric reports, including IESNA LM-63, CIBSE TM-14, and EULUMDAT file formats.
- An explanation of the photometric measurement process and its relation to the accuracy and reliability of photometric reports.
- A non-technical analysis of lighting design software algorithms, with particular emphasis on understanding how they work and how to use them properly to produce photometrically accurate predictions and physically correct renderings.
The 46-page handout from this workshop is available here.
