5.0 out of 5 stars A comprehensive guide for lighting design, September 13, 2000

By	Christa Jansen (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews

I am an interior designer who designs solely commercial spaces. The world of lighting has always been fascinating to me, and since I received only a basic education on the subject, I need a little help once in a while understanding how it works. This book is the best I've seen on lighting design. It has color photos of lighting in action, then includes details illustrating how each fixture was constructed and what materials were used. I have adapted and revised several of these details for use in my own projects. The book has really helped me to become more knowledgeable about lighting and its impact.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!, March 27, 2006

This book is great for architecture students. I ordered this book not expecting too much of it, but it's really great. It has a lot of photos and detailed drawings. It's also a hard cover book. It's been very useful.
