Speaker:Dr. Graeme Lister (Ceravision Limited)

Time and Date: 14:00- , Jul. 2 - Jul. 25, 2014

Place: Room 301, Electrical Light Source Building, Handan Campus

 

 

Abstract

 

Lecture 1: Introduction (Jul.2)

Part 1: A brief history of lighting. The basic principles of vision and how we see. A review of the important lighting metrics and a critical assessment of their value and importance in the lighting industry. Examples of the way these metrics are applied for various lighting applications.

Part 2: Overview of electric light sources and ballasts: Incandescent lamps; discharge lamps (fluorescent, HID) and ballasts; LED and OLED lamps and drivers.

 

Lecture 2: Electrodeless Lighting (Fluorescent and HID) (Jul.4)

Part 1: A review of induction (electrodeless fluorescent) and plasma (electrodeless HID) lighting technology.

Part 2: Theory and modelling of electrodeless discharges for lighting.

 

Lecture 3: Progress and R&D in LED and OLED (Jul.9)

This lecture will review progress in Solid State Lighting. The main focus will be the results from R&D Workshops conducted by the US Department of Energy.

 

Lecture 4: Luminaires and Controls (Jul.11)

Part 1: The basic principles of luminaire design. An overview of commercially available luminaires.

Part 2: The use of lighting controls is one of the most important aspects of lighting design and management today. Making light available only when and where it is needed provides great opportunities for energy savings. The important principles and current practices will be reviewed.

 

Lecture 5: Photometry Calculations (Jul.16)

Part 1: A review of the photometry used for characterising lamps. Understanding .ies files and manufacturers data.

Part 2: Simple methods of calculation of illuminance using a) the lumen method b) the points method. Use of “state of the art” software, with examples from AGi 32.

 

Lecture 6: Indoor Lighting Design (Jul.18)

Part 1: Principles of interior lighting design; contrast and stimulation; glare and sparkle; direction and distribution of light.

Part 2: Examples of interior lighting: residential; hospitality; retail; industrial lighting,

 

Lecture 7: Exterior Lighting Design, Roadway Lighting (Jul.23)

Part 1: Exterior lighting elements and metrics; critical design considerations;

Part 2: Exterior lighting applications; roadway lighting; parking areas; sporting facilities

 

Lecture 8: Important Issues in Lighting (Jul.25)

The lighting design process; sustainable design; daylighting; energy efficiency codes and standards, light and health.

 

 

Biography

Dr . Lister is the best qualified scientist in the USA to teach a graduate level course on modeling of both low- and high-pressure plasmas for lighting. He has been the author or co-author of more than 100 papers in international journals, books and conference proceedings and a number of laboratory reports in the public domain. More than 20 research reports in the confidential domain. He is a tenacious researcher who is best known for his contributions in making modeling of lighting plasmas into an engineering tool. His leadership and knowledge in this field are clearly demonstrated by the major review article he wrote, which has been well cited and widely read : G. G. Lister et al., “The Physics of Discharge Lamps”, invited review, Reviews of Modern Physics 76, 541-598 (2004). He has attained his membership of many professional bodies and committees as well as conference organizing committees. He is also the referee for several core journals such as “Journal of Physics B and D”, “Plasma Physics and Nuclear Fusion”, “Physics of Plasmas”, “Plasma Sources Science and Technology”, and “Computer Physics Communications”.

 

Within the recent years, Dr . Lister has expanded his research to Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). This is timely in view of the shift of R&D interest by the lighting research community toward solid state lighting. He has made contributions in modeling the electron plasma inside of LEDs. He also has experience in modeling plasmas used for semiconductor processing.
