This review is from: Outdoor Lighting Pattern Book (Hardcover)
Read the editorial review thoroughly. This book is about large-scale public lighting such as streets, parks and parking lots. The title misled me but my wife, an architect, commandeered the book for her own reference library. I, of course, was looking for something more like Jan Moyer's "The Landscape Lighting Book".

Beware home owners!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Outdoor Lighting Pattern Book (Hardcover)
If I had been looking for a book on commercial residential lighting,(apartments), this would have been an excellent book. Single home lighting patterns are not included.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Essential reference for larger projects,
By toni p (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Outdoor Lighting Pattern Book (Hardcover)
I use this book extensively as a landscape architect for medium to large scale projects such as parking lots, parks, and streets. It is not a residential lighting book, although I do use the "patterns" shown here even at a small scale. My only complaint -- it is time for a new edition, incorporating LEDs and the advances in CFLs.
