Lighting Library   

The IES is proud to introduce the Lighting Library® which updates, expands, and replaces the 2010 Lighting Handbook and previous versions of our standards. The Lighting Library is a new digital platform to access IES standards, offering you an easier, more functional lighting knowledge tool in the office or on the go.

WHAT IS THE LIGHTING LIBRARY®?
The Lighting Library is a newly formulated 5-collection series of IES standards that updates, expands, and replaces the 2010 Lighting Handbook and previous versions of our standards. All content within the Library has been vetted and approved by our ANSI-approved IES consensus process, with most of the nearly 100 standards having attained American National Standard status. Subscribing to the Lighting Library through our web-enabled platform allows you to take your knowledge with you (without breaking your back); you can bookmark, annotate, and keep track of updates, all personalized to your interests. Click here for more information
