About the journal
Lighting Research & Technology (LR&T) is the international peer-reviewed research journal of light and lighting, published in association with the Society of Light and Lighting (a member society of the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers, CIBSE). Founded in its current form in 1969 — with predecessor titles in the British lighting-research tradition reaching back further — the journal has been the principal British venue for fundamental and applied lighting research for over half a century.
Editorial scope covers daylighting (the science of natural light in buildings, climate-based daylight modelling, glare prediction), electric lighting (LED sources, drivers, photometry, colorimetry), visual perception and lighting (the photopic / mesopic / scotopic literature, visual comfort, the non-image-forming effects of light on the circadian system), lighting design research and lighting controls, energy performance and lighting retrofit, and exterior and street-lighting research.
Carried with the Arnold / CIBSE research programme into the SAGE era after the 2006 Hodder Arnold journal-list sale, LR&T continues to be co-branded with the Society of Light and Lighting and published alongside CIBSE's professional outputs.
