A Must-Have Book for Everyone in Lighting
This book is a must-have if you are in any way involved with lighting. The author writes as if he's speaking to you which makes for an enjoyable read. I have read the book several times and as my own knowledge grows I continue to absorb new and useful information which I missed on previous reads. It also makes for a handy reference when you are questioning a lighting layout. I would have given this book 10 stars if there wasn't a limit!
Excellent architectural lighting textbook for architecture students
As a teacher of Environmental Control Systems, for architecture students (which includes both Illumination and Acoustics, my main field of interest) I needed a text capable of providing a design approach, coupled broadly to the technical aspects of the discipline. Sage Russell's book clearly accomplishes this masterfully, and has gained a following among the Studio Design professors as well. The materials are stimulating and the writing is entertaining. I can truly recommend it in this context.
Great intro to lighting
I am building a new LARGE home and wanted to get information to figure out the lighting scheme. This book was actually interesting and enjoyable to read. I have already read dozens of different books to be prepared for the homebuilding process (I will be my own general contractor) and have found this to be one of the most useful with real information and not just buzzwords.
That being said, if the author or publisher is reading this, you MUST do a thorough proofreading before the next printing because there are MANY typos in the book (I would seriously fire whoever was in charge of proofreading!)
I am very happy I bought this book since I really had no background in lighting and this provided a good basis.
Creative logic to lighting design
Rich with colorful images, this is a five star lighting text that offers a creative logic to lighting design. I have successfully used this book as the introduction to lighting in a pre-architecture and interior design course at the sophomore level. My course used many of the available PowerPoint presentation slides, instructor's notes, and assignments provided by the author. Because of the practical approach taken by the text, I was able to match weekly assignments to each weekly lecture and students built a course portfolio of lighting exercises that will be useful in additional studio work. When technical information is so easily accessible online, I particularly appreciate the author's balanced perspective that honors the aesthetics of architectural lighting and helps students become intrigued with its magic.
 Full of Redundancies
This book is not in depth as it is supposed to be. There is alot of information, but to be used as a textbook, it is not totally useful. My teacher had to pull out different books in order to explain things that this book did not go in detail about. Overall, this book is full of redundancies.
