Items related to Lighting Engineering: Applied Calculations
Synopsis
In order to design any lighting installation, calculations need to be made to decide how much light is needed, how to provide it and where it will fall, as well as for many other variables. This textbook is an introduction to lighting calculations and their application, for students and professionals of lighting. The first part of the volume covers the foundations of the subject area, showing the types of calculation available and how to carry them out. In the second part, the authors show how to apply these calculations to specific application areas such as interior lighting, road lighting and many other components of lighting. Coverage of computer systems is given, with worked examples and case studies throughout.

Review
'This is an excellent text ... the authors' treatment of the topics is excellent'
Professor Christopher Cuttle, University of Auckland, New Zealand
'The book is over 500 pages in length, well written, well presented and produced with good diagrams and many worked examples. It is considered that this book will become the oft-consulted reference work for progressive engineers and designers in addition to students of the subject."
E Rowlands in Lighting Research and Technology
"For all those of you for whom lighting calculations are a bit of a chore - or who want to learn more about them - Lighting Engineering is a must...suitable for everyone from professional lighting engineers and designers, through to students of lighting and architecture, this is a big book that belongs on all our shelves."
The Lighting Journal
'The combination of the authors' mathematical analytical approach with their practical experience makes this a magnificent book, in which one can read the authors' love for their subject. The reviewer not only recommends this book but also makes a strong plea for it to be kept up-to-date over the next forty years.'
