SLL LIGHTING GUIDE 11: Surface Reflectance and Colour

DESCRIPTION

The Society of Light and Lighting has published a new guide to surface reflectance and colour which enables lighting designers to assess much more accurately than hitherto the reflectances of the various surfaces in the space to be lit.

Surface reflectance is an important factor in lighting calculations, yet accurate information is rarely available. This new Guide includes specially printed and calibrated colour sample cards to enable designers to assess the reflectances of the various room surfaces quickly and accurately.

This publication will therefore be of use to a wide range of professionals including architects, interior designers, lighting consultants, contractors and facilities managers.

This publication has been produced by the Society of Light and Lighting in conjunction with the National Physical Laboratory as part of the work of the NPL Optical Radiation Measurement Club. Measurements and calibration of the sample cards were carried out by NPL.
