Illuminating engineering is at a new horizon where it must think of the 'whole man'. It must specialize in designing the luminous environment but it must help integrate that environment with the thermal and sonic environments. Since it provides the medium for the greatest share of communication of knowledge and the circumstances for work (visual piloting) it should take the lead in study of the total impact on man.
