Lighting is a key feature of almost all interiors but it isoften treated in a rather superficial manner in most books. It is,however, a complex, fast-moving field where the technology isalways changing. For large schemes, a professional lightingdesigner is usually employed, but for smaller projects it willoften fall to the architect or interior designer to specify thelighting.

A bonus CD includestechnical drawings from the book.
