Decide Which Lighting Technology Is Best for Your Application
Light Sources, Second Edition: Basics of Lighting Technologies and Applications presents an overview of the three main technologies that have produced the numerous families of lighting products on the market today: electrical incandescence, electrical gas discharges, and semiconductor light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The second edition of this highly praised bestseller explores the scientific and technological developments of existing and new light sources and significantly expands the coverage on how to make choices based on a specific application.
New to the Second Edition
  • Enhanced material on LEDs
  • New chapter on matching lighting technology with the appropriate applications
  • New chapter on light and health
  • New case studies on indoor and outdoor lighting for security and safety
This book provides an up-to-date guide to the main technologies and important families of light sources that have dominated the market and our lives since the end of the nineteenth century. It will help readers design the most appropriate lighting environments for people of various needs and choose the correct technology for cost-effective lighting schemes.

Recenzii

"I have never before seen a book with so many photographs, diagrams, and data summary tables—they are all helpful. A look at this book will benefit anyone interested in lighting."
Optics & Photonics News, October 2015
"… a must-read for people looking for a complete introduction to this very modern subject. … this book covers from legacy light sources to new solid state lighting devices, in combination with aspects of lighting and health effects. I strongly recommend this book!"
—Professor Georges Zissis, University of Toulouse, France
"In this book a nice overview is given of all the lighting technologies that we use today and many new entrants in the world of lighting will benefit from reading it."
—Dr. Marco Haverlag, Philips Lighting, The Netherlands
Praise for the First Edition:
"… a welcome publication, written as it is by an expert on light sources … it is a book that will prove useful to those who teach lighting subjects and who have to deal with light sources."
—Robert Bean, Lighting Research and Technology, 2011
"… a concise compilation of a huge family of ancient and modern light sources. As a reference book, it will be useful to scientists, students and professionals who deal with light sources and their applications in spectroscopy, optics and industry."
Optics & Photonics News, 2011
"Upon finishing this book, you will be impressed by how the author has managed to squeeze such a comprehensive look at light sources into 213 pages. … Of particular value is the author’s ability to condense the amount of complex information into an easy-to-read, concise and logical manner. In fact, it is a delight to run through such a complete ‘refresher course’ in a few hours’ reading. … this book offers a good overview of all current light sources from the older technologies up to the most current. … As a reference book for the lighting professional, it is a very good ‘refresher’ on all areas of lighting, which explains why and where we are in the story of lighting. … it will undoubtedly teach you a thing or two that you did not know about the subject."
Lighting Journal, February 2011
"The book is of general interest, though mainly focused on the technological aspects of artificial electric lighting, including practical aspects of lighting in common indoor and outdoor situations. Since the discussion includes aspects such as power, efficiency, light intensity, spectral properties, colour reproduction, human perception, health aspects and practicalities of various sorts, it should prove valuable in the design of the proper lighting for given situations, and hence be of interest also for architects, interior decorators and other people who want to design specific lighting. The quality of the paper, the print and the overall bookmaking is excellent, and the book can be recommended to a general readership without constraint."
Contemporary Physics (Nov 2016), review by Manuel Vogel, GSI, Darmstadt, Germany
