The next Outdoor Lighting Institute will be held October 16-17, 2013.

The Outdoor Lighting Institute provides engineers, lighting designers, municipal officials, utility personnel and others with the knowledge and tools that they need to develop outdoor lighting installations that substantially reduce energy use and light pollution while improving safety and security.
In the past few years, outdoor lighting design and specification has become much more complex, with many variables to be considered including human vision, technology, light pollution, glare, curfews, control systems, guidelines and recommended practices, and other factors that go into developing an effective, and energy-efficient lighting installation. While outdoor lighting design, specification, and equipment selection has often been done by municipal traffic engineers, more and more this is becoming a specialized field that creates opportunities for new business growth among engineers and other professionals who wish to specialize in this area of lighting.
To meet this need, the LRC has developed The Outdoor Lighting Institute. This hands-on, practical course teaches engineers, lighting designers, and other personnel how to effectively design, specify, and commission energy-efficient outdoor lighting installations for a variety of sites and locations including streets and roadways, parking areas, parks, pedestrian areas, and other locations.
