• Sixth International EPRI Lighting Research Office.Symposium – Light and Color (EPRI 1013683), February 2006. This EPRI research received an extinguished Progress Report award from the IESNA in 2006.
  
  
  
• Real World Background Luminance for Objects Viewed by Night Drivers
  (EPRI 1011961), May 2005

  This report includes a catalog of possible roadside surfaces that provide the background for night driving tasks, as well as a formula for use by lighting designers in calculating off-roadway luminance for various sight angles.
  
  
  

• Relationship Between Light and the Development and Growth of Internal Solid Cancers
  (EPRI 1011162), September 2004

  Light has profound effects on human and animal biology that do not involve vision. The natural cycle of light and dark affects the daily rhythms of physiology, metabolism, and behavior; and disruptions of these rhythms caused by artificial light may have serious health consequences. This report discusses the evidence for one such possible effect: the influence of light exposure during the nighttime on the incidence and development of solid cancers.
  
  
  

• Republication of First Five LRO/LRI International Symposium Proceedings
  May 2004

  This CD-ROM contains the full proceedings of the following LRO/LRI lighting research symposia:

  • Glare (LRI-1991) October 1991.
  • Visibility and Luminance in Roadway Lighting (LRI-1993) October 1993.
  • Lighting for Aging Vision and Health (LRI-1995) March 1995.
  • Vision at Low Light Levels (TR-110738) October 1999.
  • Light and Human Health (1009370) November 2002.
  
  
  
  
• Proceedings from the 5th International Symposium on Light and Human Health
  (EPRI 1009370) April 2003

  The Proceedings of the Fifth International Lighting Research Symposium are presented in full, including 22 presented and 7 poster papers, plus an executive summary and supplementary material.
  
  
  

• Lighting and Circadian Rhythms and Sleep in Older Adults
  (EPRI TR-1007708) January, 2003
  
  This technical memorandum provides an overview of the information available on circadian disturbances, light's role in the circadian system, and the potential role of light in treating circadian dysfunction in older adults
  
  
  
• The Advanced Lighting Guidelines
  (EPRI 1005992) October, 2001
  
  The ALG is designed to provide the information needed to design and specify energy-efficient lighting using practical state-of-the-art technology. The major topics covered are: lighting and human performance, lighting impacts and policies, lighting design considerations, lighting applications, light sources and ballast systems, luminaires and controls. There are pattern examples for common applications such as office lighting which illustrate the best use of technology combinations, including daylighting. Extensive references include manufacturer names and web site information. This printed version includes all of the corrections and updates since the release of the May, 2001 electronic version.
  
  
  
• Lighting and Human Performance II ?Beyond Visibility Models Toward a Unified Human Factors Approach to Performance
  (EPRI Report 1006415) October, 2001
  
  How much light do humans need for living, working and playing? This report, for the first time, links visibility, photobiology, and psychological issues into the performance equation drawing upon an earlier (1989) report, current research and factoring in what is known about such influences as age and fatigue. It’s not only a comprehensive look at the subject, but also a research agenda for clearly demonstrating and understanding what we yet need to find out.
  
  
  
• Light Trespass Research
  (EPRI TR-114914) April, 2000
  
  Defines "light trespass," and describes basic measurement and control techniques. Proposes the establishment of "outdoor environmental zones," and lists the steps and elements involved in developing ordinances for light trespass conflict.
  
  
• Lighting and Sustained Performance II
  (EPRI TR-114913) April, 2000
  
  Builds upon the work described in a earlier report, but includes detailed effects of task size (print tasks), luminance contrast, and illuminance under different lighting conditions. Results are linked to a visual performance model that can be used to predict performance and to do cost/benefit analyses.
  
  
• Lighting and Sustained Performance I
  (EPRI TR-112693) July, 1999
  
  Reports on the relationship between visual performance and practical lighting conditions using several luminaire types and lighting quality arrangements. The data reported were taken over a simulated 8-hour day.
  
  
• Vision at Low Light Levels
  (EPRI TR-110738) October, 1999
  
  The Proceedings of the EPRI/LRO Fourth International Lighting Research Symposium. Text and discussions of the twenty-seven papers presented at the Symposium, with a summary of a moderated panel discussion on the subject of mesopic vision.
  
  
• Lighting for Aging Vision and Health
  (EPRI LRI-1995) March, 1995
  
  The Proceedings of the EPRI/LRO Third International Lighting Research Symposium, including full text of the sixteen presented papers.
  
  
• Visibility and Luminance in Roadway Lighting
  (EPRI LRI-1993) October, 1993
  
  The Proceedings of the EPRI/LRO Second International Lighting Research Symposium, including full text of the sixteen presented papers.
  
  
• Glare
  (EPRI LRI-1991) October, 1991
  
  The Proceedings of the EPRI/LRO First International Lighting Research Symposium, including eighteen papers covering the subject of glare for interior, exterior, and roadway applications. Also included are an historical overview of glare, and a discussion of the CIE Unified Glare Rating (UGR) System.
