Synopsis
Capitalize on the benefits of fiber-optic functional architecturallighting with this essential on-the-job reference. Since the discovery of fire, there has been an ongoing search for better lighting—lighting that has the preferred properties of longevity, safety, energy-efficiency, ease of handling, and clarity. Fiber-optic technology satisfies these criteria and more, and so offers another tool for functional illumination. This trailblazing, comprehensive book presents an introduction to this revolutionary technology in easily understandable terms. Fiber Optics in Architectural Lighting contains: practical information in plain English; step-by-step checklists, how-to illustrations, color photos, plans, and examples of completed installations; actual case studies of commercial, residential, institutional, industrial, and historic building projects from around the world, illustrating practical tips and caveats that provide the best results at the lowest cost. Whether you're an architect or designer, this all-in-one reference does more than any other guide to help your realize fiber-optic lighting indoors and in every type of building. That makes Fiber Optics in Architectural Lighting a resource you simply can't do without.

This book gives simple explanations on installation and applications.
