This book, originally authored by James Nuckolls, is widely recognized as one of the most valuable primers on lighting.  It thoroughly covers all of the fundamentals of lighting design, and also serves as a handy reference for professional designers. The Fifth Edition is more comprehensive than ever, with new information on LED, energy efficiency, and new equipment.  In addition, more information is supplied for drawing ceiling floor plans and the application of designs to specific types of interiors projects. No other text combines both technical and creative aspects of lighting design for beginners and novice designers.
