Industry expert launches All Things Lighting Association

 

The All Things Lighting Association (ATLA) was recently announced by founder Ian Ashdown, P. Eng. (Ret.), FIES — president of software development firm SunTracker Technologies.

ATLA’s mission, according to its inaugural release, is to advance, support, promote, and contribute to innovation, science, and engineering in all fields of lighting, including architecture, health, horticulture, and entertainment.

Ashdown explained to LEDs Magazine that in conjunction with international contributors, ATLA has developed two standards for the international lighting community. ATLA S001 has been adopted as ANSI/IES TM-33-18 and (in Italian) UNI 11733:2019, while ATLA S001-A is currently under consideration by CIE Technical Committee 2-92.
