Electrical Photometry and Illumination: A Treatise on Light and Its Distribution, Photometric Apparatus, and Illuminating Engineering (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Electrical Photometry and Illumination: A Treatise on Light and Its Distribution, Photometric Apparatus, and Illuminating Engineering
This book is primarily intended as a text-book for second year engineering students. It contains in an amplified form the lectures delivered by the author during the session 1911.
The subject of photometry and illuminating engineering has been somewhat neglected in the past, and whereas one finds scores of books on electrical machinery, there have been very few on photometry and lighting. Yet this subject is as important as, or even more so than, the design of dynamos and motors. It Is useless to raise the efficiency of generators and motors by 1 or 2 per cent. And afterwards to waste the power by improper illuminating engineering.
