Product Description
Product Description
Lighting is a basic, yet difficult–to–master, element of interior design, and Lighting Design Basics provides the information you need in a concise, highly visual format. Two leading designers, both with decades of experience, offer straightforward coverage of concepts and techniques, and present realistic goals you can use as guides to creating simple, typical lighting designs and when collaborating with professional designers on more complex projects.
Design scenarios for more than twenty different spaces illustrate real–world case studies for illuminating residential and commercial spaces, from kitchens to doctors′ offices. Each scenario includes an in–depth rationale for the proposed solution, insightful lighting distribution diagrams, floor plans, and details for lighting installation and construction. In addition, exercises allow you to develop lighting design skills in preparation for working on actual projects, as well as the NCIDQ and NCARB exams.
Packed with informative illustrations, Lighting Design Basics is an invaluable resource for students, as well as interior designers and architects studying for professional licensing exams.

Good Resource
24 Dec 2007
Format:Paperback
If you are looking for a beginner lighting course, this books is just what you need. It goes through lighting applications per room/area, explains how to calculate foot candles, but if you want to read more about lighting plans, layouts, electrical requirements.....I would say - keep looking.
This is a good quick resource with little technical detail.

Insufficient

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Outdated and insufficient. But a good beginner book that covers the basics. I would suggest buying one of the bigger more expensive books, but if this is all you can afford, it is worth the money.
