Graduate of this course is able to:
- Describe the basic physics of light,
- Explain the principles of light generation,
- Explain the nature of vision and the visual system functions,
- Explain methods for disturbing glare evaluation,
- Explain the differences in trichromatic coordinate systems for the evaluation of color
- List the main electric light sources
- Connect the discharge light source into the circuit electrical network
- Measure the basic photometric equipments
- Explain the operating principles of fluorescent lamps, LEDs,
- Name the properties to the light source.

The student who select the subject should be able to explain the basic laws of electric circuits, should have knowledge of basic electrical quantities measurements. General knowledge is required at the level of bachelor's degree, but it is advisable to have completed a course Energy use (BUEE).

Not applicable.

Techning methods include lectures, computer laboratories and practical laboratories. Course is taking advantage of e-learning (Moodle) system. Students have to write a laboratory protocols during the course

up to 24 points per laboratory protocols
up to 16 points for the progress tests of knowledge
up to 60 points for the final exam, which is focused on an overview of issues. The exam is form of a test on a computer with an oral supplement in the event of deficiencies.

The aim of the course is to provide students with information on lighting technology as part of the most common appliances of electricity. In this course students learn the basics of lighting technology, the necessary photometry theory, basic information about components for lighting, measurement principles of light from light, principles of light generation and light sources.

Laboratory teaching of the course is compulsory, properly excused absences can be arranged with the teacher, usually replace to last week or the following week, unless the teaching is divided into multiple groups.
