The aging population is exploding worldwide and it is going to affect you, your work, and the lighting industry. Learn from a leading expert in lighting and aging about how to adapt to the new reality. This presentation will explore how vision changes in later years, how older adults perceive lighting, and how to implement ANSI/IES RP-28-07, the accepted lighting standard for older people and low vision populations. Indeed, it is the lighting that improves lives.

Learning objectives:

• Understanding the lighting needs of over 20% of the US population
• Learning about the latest trends in lighting for the elderly and low vision population
• Understanding that aging is a world-wide phenomenon and its impact reachers far beyond senior housing.
