A modern lighting textbook for the LED era
I love this book! It is valuable for lighting designers of any level to have in their collection. Great culmination of information on modern LED lighting science and lighting practice. I particular enjoyed the color science and light & circadian rhythm chapters. Super valuable for our firm to have for all designers to reference, especially our younger designers coming from related industries.
