Features: This book strives to combine theory with practice. Based on explaining a certain depth of theoretical knowledge, it provides a large number of new engineering examples, covering everything from general theaters, conference halls, dance halls, and sports venues to large-scale landscape lighting systems, digital network dimming systems (Shenzhen Television Station), and intelligent lighting control systems (Nanshan Guanyin Temple in Hainan, Guangzhou International Convention Center). These examples are detailed and offer strong practical guidance, making the book suitable for professionals engaged in lighting technology and management in factories, enterprises, government agencies, schools, cultural groups, sports venues, theaters, concert halls, dance halls, television studios, and audio-visual education. With its fresh content and broad scope, it can serve as a textbook or reference material for lighting engineering, decorative and environmental design, and film and stage lighting. It is also a valuable resource for designers and engineering technicians in these fields.
The book introduces lighting concepts, light sources, lighting fixtures; lighting calculations, lighting measurements, and lighting control and dimming systems. It focuses on new devices in the modern lighting field (e.g., LEDs, laser lights, cold cathode tubes, fiber optics, imaging lights, computer lights), new technologies (e.g., intelligent lighting control), new systems (e.g., digital dimming, network dimming), and new design methods (e.g., computer-aided design for lighting systems). It also provides numerous new engineering examples of theaters, sports venues, conference halls, dance halls, landscapes, and film lighting, as well as digital network dimming systems and intelligent lighting control systems.
