Specifying Color Quality With TM-30<\/a>” \u00a0The description of the seminar is, “This presentation will discuss several research projects which have used the IES TM-30 color rendition framework, and whose results have been used to develop various specification criteria. We will discuss UFC 4-510-01, The Department of Defense Unified Facilities Criteria for Military Medical Facilities, which has already implemented IES TM-30-15 specification criteria.”<\/p>\nDuring the seminar we’ll review some TM-30 basics, look at several research projects that are helping to establish TM-30 thresholds, and review how to use the TM-30 calculator. \u00a0Don’t miss it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
By now most of us have attended one or more seminars or webinars about IES TM-30 and understand that it is a method of measuring various color rendering properties of a light source and reporting those measurements. \u00a0The thing that’s been missing is a recommended set of values that set minimums, maximums and\/or tolerances for … Continue reading Specifying Color Quality With TM-30<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[6,12,18,21,17],"tags":[27,68],"class_list":["post-852","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-calculations","category-color","category-design","category-education","category-light","tag-color-rendering","tag-tm-30"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p4gZSw-dK","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":5394,"url":"https:\/\/designinglight.com\/?p=5394","url_meta":{"origin":852,"position":0},"title":"A Brief History of TM-30","author":"Jason Livingston","date":"April 9, 2026","format":false,"excerpt":"Next Wednesday I\u2019ll be giving a presentation on LP-30 at LEDucation (hope to see you there!), and in preparing for it I\u2019ve been reflecting on how far we\u2019ve come in our understanding and evaluation of color rendering. \u00a0 The Color Rendering Index (CRI) was published by the International Commission on\u2026","rel":"","context":"In "Color"","block_context":{"text":"Color","link":"https:\/\/designinglight.com\/?cat=12"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"","width":0,"height":0},"classes":[]},{"id":780,"url":"https:\/\/designinglight.com\/?p=780","url_meta":{"origin":852,"position":1},"title":"The Advantages of TM-30","author":"Jason Livingston","date":"October 30, 2017","format":false,"excerpt":"In this series of posts about IES TM-30-15 I've discussed the problems with CRI and the resistance to adopting TM-30. \u00a0In this post I'll discuss the advantages of TM-30 over CRI, and what TM-30 is and isn't.
