I E S : A H I S T O RY I E S : A H I S T O RY Fifty-three years separated publication of the First Edition of the IES Lighting Handbook in 1947 and the most recent version, the Ninth Edition, published in 2000. More than 100 contributing specialists—engineers, architects, physicists, decorators, artists and ophthalmologists—offered their expertise to the First Edition. Three times that number were involved by the time of the Ninth Edition. Indeed, the evolution of the Handbook reflects the changes that have taken place in the lighting profession. The initial emphasis on “quantity” (in the form of recommended illuminances) has information and of time-tested application techniques is recognized as the best foundation for future advancement. It is conceived by the Society that this Handbook will provide its readers with the essential information required in their daily work...” —Robert W. McKinley 2000—The Editor Writes... “Many of us believe that the ninth edition of the IESNA Lighting Handbook represents a watershed in lighting practice. IES Presidents 1930-1955 W.F. Little 1930-1931 Julius Daniels 1931-1932 J.W. Barker 1932-1933 J.L. Stair 1933-1934 A.L. Powell 1934-1935 L.A.S Wood 1935-1936 given way to a philosophical shift toward “quality.” Over the past 20 years there has been a G.B. Regar 1936-1937 Quantity What follows is a look back at what the editor of the First Edition (Robert W. McKinley) and the editor of the Ninth Edition (Mark S. Rea) had to say in the respective Prefaces to the Handbook about the effort they had just spearheaded. 1947—The Editor Writes... “Through the years since 1906, the Illuminating Engineering Society has been publishing the findings of the leaders in the fields of lighting application and research. In addition to the 41 movement in lighting practice from illuminating engineering to lighting design, a movement from calculations of illuminance to judgments of aesthetics, a movement from quantity to quality. For the first time, the IESNA has, through this edition, formalized recommendations of lighting quality, reflecting this movement in lighting practice. “These formal recommendations are provided in a matrix entitled the IESNA Lighting Design Guide. The Guide includes H.B. Dates 1937-1938 D.W. Atwater 1938-1939 L.H. Graves 1939-1940 A.D. Cameron 1940-1941 Willard Brown 1941-1942 R. B. Brown, Jr. 1942-1943 Howard M. Sharp 1943-1944 S.B. Williams 1944-1945 & Quality T h e I E S N A H a n d b o o k volumes of its journal, the I.E.S. Film, and the many lighting installation data sheets, pamphlets and books prepared under its sponsorship, there is today so much excellent literature on lighting published by others that it has become exceedingly difficult to keep abreast of advancement along the ever-expanding lighting horizon. For one person to collect and digest the findings of the past half-century of progress would require a life-time of research. Nevertheless, an understanding of the basic technical recommendations on important lighting design criteria such as eye-source-task geometry, flicker, color, and glare. They are provided alongside the traditional recommendations of illuminance for a wide variety of applications. The intent of the Guide is to broaden the perspective of lighting practitioners and to direct them to specify higher quality lighting...” —Mark S. Rea A.F. Wakefield 1945-1946 G.K.
