• The CIE International Lighting Vocabulary, first published in 1938 and revised periodically since then, gives definitions for more than 1400 terms and is by far the most comprehensive and authoritative source on the scientific terminology of light and colour. Although previously very expensive and limited in distribution, it is now freely available online.
