The book combines technical accuracy and practicality with an impressive breadth of detail, in a portable, compact and lightweight package.

The new book updates the reader on significant new technology developments that have occurred since the publishing of the first two books, and gives special attention to new energy efficiency enhancements in light sources, electronic control-gear and automation systems, as well as to the latest energy efficient lighting design and application techniques.

The book has a forward Gustav Kritzinger, the IESSA president for 2008/9, in which he states: "The Illumination Engineering Society of South Africa (IESSA) supports the publication of all educational handbooks on the topic of lighting, especially since the country has an acute skills shortage. Whether the reader uses this publication as a handbook, a guide, or as a source of reference, it is sure to satisfy the requirements of each and all interested in or or actively involved in the science or art of lighting".

With 272 full-colour pages and 39 chapters, each one an insightful treatise on its topic, with over 400 colour figures and 37 tables, the book contains a wealth of down-to-earth, practical information.

This book is an ideal textbook for technical colleges, universities of technology and academic universities for courses in lighting design and application.
