    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Describes in general terms, the aims and processes concerned with artificial lighting design including energy considerations. Deals with the characteristics of various lamps and their control gear, with luminaires and other means of controlling the distribution of light, together with some aspects of installation. Particular lighting requirements in various types of buildings are considered and recommended methods of meeting them. Reference is made to economics and maintenance.
