This CIE Tutorial has been developed to support the understanding and proper application of CIE S 026. It is expected that an outcome for participants at this tutorial will be clarity on how light can be quantified and assessed for its ability to achieve important biological effects relevant for human health, performance and well-being, without depending on visual images  – in this way the sub-title for this tutorial is “Methods and principles to define light for responses beyond vision”.
