Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue is dedicated to the field of illumination and lighting parametrization, design, and optimization.
Lighting is more than illumination; it is a critical element in creating functional, sustainable, and aesthetically pleasing environments.
We seek pioneering research, original articles, and exhaustive reviews that concentrate on superior, innovative methodologies for lighting solutions.
This Special Issue aims to explore energy-efficient solutions to non-visual effects on human health with technological advancements and multidisciplinary research.
The desired topics, but are not limited to, the following:
- Lighting quality parameters of light sources;
- Photometric and colorimetric parameters of LEDs;
- Non-visual parameters of lighting;
- Interior and exterior lighting.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
