It has long been said that lighting is a combination of art and science. This year’s CIBSE Annual Lecture, presented by the SLL at the Royal Institution of Great Britain, will consist of two talks that explore each aspect of this combination, beginning with the historical perspective and then looking towards the future.

The Scientists

Dr. Bryson Gore and Dr. Frank James will begin the lecture with a talk on the work of the Royal Institution from the times of Faraday, painting a picture of the scientific fervour that led up to the formation of SLL’s original incarnation as the Illuminating Engineering Society in 1909.
