Good Resource

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.

Outdated and insufficient.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.

Well, I have only had one lighting book.. this is it. So I guess I am not the best person to judge. It does have a lot of great information. I used this book for my basic lighting course at FSJC.
