Beautifully done, easily understood reference., 16 Dec 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lighting: A Design Source Book (Hardcover)
This was money well spent! Eloquent author who had me using the search engine at Amazon in hopes of finding more of her books. It covers all aspects of home lighting. I came away with an extensive understanding of light fixtures and appropriate applications for each, different types of bulbs, and an appreciation for the use of dimmers on fixtures, and glorious light just for the extra touches it brings to your living environment. As a result of this reading, I've purchased interesting fixtures that will add so much more to my home. Thank you, Ms. Wilhide, for sharing your expertise with me!

I sent this book back, 7 Aug 2002
By George N. Lawrence - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lighting: A Design Source Book (Hardcover)
First book I ever returned to Amazon because it was of unacceptable quality. The book should be titled "Pictures of pretty lighting fixtures" as the photographs are quite well done, but I found no useful information on the design of lighting. There is nothing on the subject of how to illuminate a room. Indeed you will see some examples of incredibly underlit rooms. They look good in the pictures because the photographer, Ray Main, has added what looks like a couple of thousand watts of bounce flash. You will see some kitchens where the people will need flashlights to cook their food. I did not see any room that looked adequately lit by the actual fixtures.The discussion of fluorsecent lights is very disappointing. In the age of energy conservations the fact that fluorescent lights emit about 5 times more lumens per watt than incandescent lights makes them definitely worth considering. I had hoped to see some artistic ideas for using these interesting but awkward light sources, but there was very little and what there was was disappointing.
Kudos to Ray Main for beautiful photographs. Look somewhere else if you want "A Design Source Book".

Excellent Introduction to lighting, 22 July 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lighting: A Design Source Book (Hardcover)
On top of helpful tips and information about different types of lighting and lamps, the books lean heavily on lighting for more modern interiors. It does talk about universal applications in period styles, but I feel the author's interest is more on the modern side. Most of the photos and examples are taken from modern interiors. If you like contemporary and modern flavor, this is a book to miss! Definitely a keeper!
