SLL Code for Lighting (2012 Edition)
2012
2011 The Society of Light and Lighting (SLL) Code for Lighting is regarded as
2010 the definitive reference source for lighting design in the UK.
2009
2008
For many years, the IES Code for Lighting was the de facto standard for lighting
Fact Files provision in the United Kingdom. However, in 2002, the Committee for European
Standardisation (CEN) took on the task of providing lighting recommendations, and,
since then the British Standards Institution has adopted the CEN recommendations
for use in the United Kingdom. As a result, there are now a range of British
Standards that specify the quantitative lighting requirements for a wide range of
applications. Consequently, the role of the SLL Code for Lighting has shifted from being the only source for
quantitative lighting recommendations to being a guide on how to interpret the British Standard
recommendations and how to implement them in practice.

This edition of the SLL Code for Lighting takes the changes in lighting guidance a step further by a process of
separation and concentration. The separation involves moving the details of vision, lighting technology and
lighting applications into another publication, the SLL Lighting Handbook. The concentration occurs because
this SLL Code for Lighting provides information on three fundamental matters of relevance to lighting practice.
