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).

THE APPLICATION OF PSEUDOCOLOR ANALYSIS TO ASSESS THE OBTRUSIVE LIGHT PRODUCED BY OUTDOOR LIGHTING INSTALLATIONS By José Luiz Pimenta, Sao Paulo, Brazil with assistance from David Speer of LAI for the 26th Session of the CIE in Beijing, China. An illustration of the value of Pseudocolor analysis in the evaluation of obtrusive outdoor lighting.

Accurate Modeling of LED Colors: A Scientific Approach By Ian Ashdown, P. Eng., LC, FIES in LEDs Magazine, October 2005 (http://www.ledsmagazine.com) regarding specifying RGB colors for LED luminaires to compensate for poor color rendering by computer monitors.

Supplement to above for direct application to AGi32 Scaling method to correct SRE numbers in AGi32

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:
  1. An in-depth understanding of photometric reports, including IESNA LM-63, CIBSE TM-14, and EULUMDAT file formats.
  2. An explanation of the photometric measurement process and its relation to the accuracy and reliability of photometric reports.
  3. 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.
