Book Description

Fiber-optic lighting is a cutting-edge technology. It is energy-conserving; it is far more easily adjusted to different levels of illumination than other lighting sources; it is the least destructive to organic materials. Further, it is a cost-effective, safe, and long-lived source of artificial lighting. Fiber-optic lighting technology originated in Europe and the Middle and Far East, where it is now the preferred lighting source. International energy efficiency standards--in addition to its many advantages, listed above--have now brought it to the forefront of American architects and lighting designers. Both domestic and international manufacturers are offering scores of innovative products. This book, written by the acknowledged North American expert, provides comprehensive coverage of every facet of this technology.
