Book Reviews of Photometrics Handbook
Book Review: For Professionals
Summary: 5 Stars
I have read a lot of reviews (for other books) from people who bought books for the wrong reason. Make sure you understand- this is a specifications manual for professional stage electricians and lighting designers. This is not an introductory text book and is not appropriate for most amateurs and volunteers in community theatres. If you don't already know the meaning of the following words and phrases:
throw distance, wattage, color temperature, bayonet, focal point, ERS, and Parabolic reflector...
this is not your book.
Even if you do- chances are, if you're not sure whether you need it, you probably don't.
That being said- Every lighting designer and stage electrician should own this book and keep it in their glove box with their wrench and gloves.
Summary of Photometrics Handbook
Dozens of newly manufactured lighting instruments, and many old ones not included in the first edition, bring this second edition up to date. Photometric data-beam angles, field angles, foot candles and beam diameters at various throw distances, etc.-on over 500 theatrical lighting instruments make this an indispensable reference for lighting designers and electricians.General Books
