Sorry to differ with others, but this does not even qualify as a “book”. It is closer to a magazine article in its subject depth. The photos are all out of date. The side bars for the first chapter contain all the knowledge offered. The rest is just redundant filler. Expect no more than you would get from some old Sunset “book”.

This book is a good (not great) reference for home planners, engineers or interior designers but if you are looking for inspiration and the newest lighting ideas, well…try somewhere else.
I expected a book with nice color pictures, beautifull layout and ambient lighting ideas and felt most disappointed.
Almost every picture reminds me of my grand mother or my old aunt home, they are so outdated! and the quality is so poor!! So don’t get mislead with the front cover picture!!!…

Great book. Required for school and has some great practical real world information on lighting for the design professional. This will be a keeper for future reference while on the job.

“Residential Lighting” is a very readable introduction to the world of lighting. This edition also includes the hot topic of sustainability regarding lighting choices and applications. Even though this is a textbook, it is highly informative for the “average” reader as well. Whether the reader is interested in gaining knowledge for their chosen field, or wanting to become knowledgeable in order to intelligently work with a lighting contractor, or is an ambitious do-it-yourselfer….this book provides a solid foundation. Did you know that in the world of lighting a “bulb” is actually referred to as a “lamp”? A very illuminating read…..!
