by jbs051209 h3 — May 13, 2009—The UK’s Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers’ (CIBSE) Society of Light and Lighting (SLL) has published a comprehensive, up-to-date and accessible lighting handbook that it recommends as a first stop for anyone seeking information on lighting.

The SLL Lighting Handbook is designed to be complementary to the SLL Code for Lighting but to go beyond it in terms of applications and background information, without getting into the fine detail of the SLL Lighting Guides.

The new handbook is aimed not just at lighting practitioners but also at lighting specifiers and students of lighting. The contents summarize the fundamentals of light and vision, the technology of lighting, and guidance on a wide range of applications, both interior and exterior, including emergency, office, industrial, educational, and hospitals.
