Each chapter opens with a Case Study of specially commissioned photographs which show the room lit in three different moods.

The final section includes a photgraphic glossary of fixtures and fittings, as well as the essential technical know-how, from the fundamentals of wiring to how to brief an electrician. Informed throughout by both the practical lighting expertise and the imaginative design techniques for which Kevin McCloud is renowned.
