Beyond CRI. Discover TM30.
Because great design deserves more color. 

A visual demonstration of color rendition and the limitations of CRI, brought to you by DURALAMP at Light + Building 3F GROUP stand H3.1 D55.

CRI conceals color perception.
TM-30 reveals it.
Experience the difference.

 

For decades, lighting was judged by CRI (Color Rendering Index) — a single score that tells you how “accurately” colors appear compared to a reference source. But CRI doesn’t predict the visual experience of color, and its flaws are exacerbated by LED technology. Designers deserve more. The answer is TM-30; a color rendition system form the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) that corrects every drawback of CRI.

• CRI is a minimum performance metric that does not correlate with perception.
• TM-30 tells you exactly how colors are rendered —Measurable fidelity, balanced saturation, and predictable visual results. Designers can specify with confidence to achieve exactly what they intend.

Experience a live visual demonstration by Dr. Tony Esposito, exploring how saturation and hue influence color preference and perception in design. Twice-daily talks, with guided tours between sessions.

 

Bio:
Dr. Tony Esposito is an Assistant Professor in the Durham School of Architectural Engineering and Construction at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Founder of Lighting Research Solutions LLC, Co-Chair of the Color Committee of the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES), and former Director and Light Concept Lead at the International WELL Building Institute. He has authored or coauthored more than 30 publications on light and lighting and has delivered more than 60 presentations nationally and internationally. Recognition includes the 2019 Richard Kelly Grant, the 2019 CIBSE Walsh Weston Award by the Society of Light and Lighting, and 2025 Recognition of Extraordinary Dedication and Leadership by the IES. His research work has influenced standards of the Illuminating Engineering Society and the American National Standards Institute, products developed by lighting equipment manufacturers, and criteria implemented by lighting certification programs. His mission is to study, discover, and deliver evidence-based lighting solutions that conserve energy and promote human health and well-being.
