5.0 out of 5 stars
An Electricians Life saver,
By Majid Younis (Houston) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Photometrics Handbook (Paperback)
There are two things a good electrician should always have handy, his wrench and this book. This books has all the informaton on all the lighting instruments that I have come across. When drawing or hanging my plot I make sure I have my book handy. No more guessing or looking for the torn instrument specs. This is the one great book an electrician can't do without.

For Professionals,
This review is from: Photometrics Handbook (Paperback)
I have read a lot of reviews (for other books) from people who bought books for the wrong reason. Make sure you understand- this is a specifications manual for professional stage electricians and lighting designers. This is not an introductory text book and is not appropriate for most amateurs and volunteers in community theatres. If you don't already know the meaning of the following words and phrases:
throw distance, wattage, color temperature, bayonet, focal point, ERS, and Parabolic reflector... this is not your book. Even if you do- chances are, if you're not sure whether you need it, you probably don't. That being said- Every lighting designer and stage electrician should own this book and keep it in their glove box with their wrench and gloves.

This review is from: Photometrics Handbook (Paperback)
The Photometrics Handbook is an indispensible item for theatrical lighting designers and production electricians because it has the photometrics of almost all of the US conventional lighting instruments that one would come across.
My only regret is that the author did not make a third edition to include the conventional instruments that have been created since the second edition was published. Also, these days, LED and automated fixtures would be a great addition to the book.
