Outdoor Lighting: Physics, Vision and Perception

Outdoor Lighting: Physics, Vision and Perception Review

This book covers theoretical aspects that are at the basis of lighting installations. It focuses on insight, backgrounds and coherence.

There are many fundamental aspects that are essential for understanding why different ways to install and use lighting give different results. A purely pragmatic approach to solving practical lighting problems will lead to pitfalls. But as this book shows, on the basis of fundamental considerations on optics, light sources and vision, causes and effects that tend to be overlooked by lighting engineers and designers can be identified. The selection of subjects in this book is based on more than 50 years of experience in studying the fundamental and practical applications of lighting and vision. The author has given classes on these topics, in master courses at post-graduate and post-doctoral levels.
