Interior Lighting: Fundamentals, Technology and Application
Autor Wout van Bommelen Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 aug 2019
The book is divided into three parts. Part One discusses the fundamentals of the visual and non-visual mechanisms and the practical consequences for visual performance and comfort, for sleep, daytime alertness and performance, and includes chapters on age effects, therapeutic effects and hazardous effects of lighting. Part Two deals with the lighting hardware: lamps (with emphasis on LEDs), gear, drivers and luminaires including chapters about lighting controls and LEDs beyond lighting. Part Three is the application part, providing the link between theory and practice and supplying the reader with the knowledge needed for lighting design. It describes the relevant lighting criteriafor good and efficient interior lighting and discusses the International, European and North American standards and recommendations for interior lighting.
A particular focus is on solid state light sources (LEDs) and the possibility to design innovative, truly-sustainable lighting installations that are adaptable to changing circumstances. The design of such installations is difficult and the book offers details of the typical characteristics of the many different solid state light sources, and of the aspects determining the final quality of interior lighting.
Essential reading for interior lighting designers, lighting engineers and architects, the book will also be a useful reference for researchers and students.

Notă biografică
Prof. Wout van Bommel MSc has over 40 years of experience in road, sports, office, industrial, architectural lighting (indoor and outdoor). With his vast international experience in lighting application he advises as an independent Lighting Consultant, after his retirement from Philips Lighting, lighting designers, researchers, companies municipalities and governmental bodies. He assesses the quality of specifications of lighting installations (certification). He presents papers in English, German and Dutch at congresses, symposia and workshops and teaches lighting courses.
With J.B. De Boer, he is the author of Road Lighting (1980), the standard text for road lighting engineers and designers. An extensively revised and updated version, Road Lighting: Fundamentals, Technology and Application was published in 2015.

Part Three is the application part, providing the link between theory and practice and supplying the reader with the knowledge needed for lighting design.
