Preface
Human civilization revolves around artificial light. From its earliest incarnation as firelight to its most recent as electric light, artificial light is at the core of our living. It has freed us from the temporal and spatial constraints of daylight by allowing us to function equally well day and night, indoors and outdoors. It has evolved from open fire, candle, carbon arc lamp, incandescent lamp, and fluorescent lamp to what is now on our doorstep: solid-state lighting (SSL). SSL refers to a type of lighting that uses semiconductor lig
