5.0 out of 5 stars Stylish, theory explained well, good range of examples. , 8 Jun 2006

By	jz (Wantage, Oxon, UK) - See all my reviews

I knew this was the book I was looking for when, in the foreword, Kevin admits that he "had long since suspected that low-voltage (halogen) downlighters were not the universal panacea to lighting problems" and thinks "their glare and sharp shadows (are) highly inappropriate to most domestic situations"

The book then works through five different types of lighting - Ambient, Accent, Task, Decorative, and Kinetic and explains how to use them together to achieve a particular mood or theme for the kitchen, bedroom, garden etc. The homes featured come from a reasonably broad base of styles, and the technical section is helpful.

As a newly-qualified electrician, this book has been beneficial in being able to help customers choose lighting which is appropriate to them and their homes. It's probably available from your local library so you may be able to compare other titles there.

2.0 out of 5 stars Dull and Outdated, 8 April 2009

By	T. Watson "DRB" (Scotland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A very disappointing book. Being a fan of the Grand Designs series and planning a self build of my own a friend bought me the Grand Designs hand book. Fearing a poor cash in to the TV series I was surprised to find the book highly informative and McClouds writing style witty and engaging. Unfortunately this book has none of those qualities. Its dull, horribly outdated and contains little useful information which is surprising considering McClouds background as a lighting designer.

I would recommend Residential Lighting by Randall Whitehead instead.
