Randall Whitehead today announced the publication of his new textbook, RESIDENTIAL LIGHTING, A Practical Guide. The well-respected publishing house of John Wiley and Sons released it in November 2003 for distribution throughout the United States and abroad.

This book combines the latest technical information and aesthetic approaches to the art of residential lighting design. Readers will benefit from a wealth of detailed information on both interior and exterior lighting of homes and gardens.

Now, for the first time, there is a definitive work on residential lighting that serves as a reference guide for established design professionals and as a textbook for students in the interior design, lighting design, landscape design, and architectural fields. It's also a highly accessible and effective tool for homeowners, and helps them learn the "language of light" in order to better express their design requirements and communicate their remodeling dreams to professionals.

Randall's lively, humorous style keeps readers entertained and informed. There are severl highly "illuminating" before-and-after photos of situations where bad lighting design is corected and improved, through the skillful use of Light Layering.

The 288 page book includes a wealth of diagrammatic and illustratitive material: 116 drawings, 150 color photographs, and 50 black-and-white photographs. It's available from this site HERE.
