In the Summer 2015 edition of Ignis we highlighted
the International Year of Light. We revisit it
with a link to download the official book “Inspired by
Light: Reflections from the International Year of Light
2015”, a collection of 56 posts that were published on the
IYL 2015 blog. Enjoy a snapshot of the current state of
art of light-based technology and its many applications.
