Abstract
Fourier analysis is applied to the profile of illuminance around the curved surface of a small cylinder, due to one, two and three point sources of light and due to an extended source. This reveals only one odd harmonic, whose amplitude is equal to half that of the illumination vector. Lighting can also generate a diminishing series of even harmonics. The lighting at any point in open space can be expressed in terms of the harmonics of illuminance around three mutually perpendicular cylinders. Visual discomfort is often associated with the presence of even harmonics. The photometry of cylindrical and semi-cylindrical illuminance, and of cylindrical harmonics, is discussed.
