The first book to discuss LED technology from an interior design point of view As incandescent lighting continues to diminish, the creative use of LEDs requires a new approach to residential lighting. Written in a conversational voice by an award-winning interior designer, Lighting beyond Edison is structured to be a comprehensive guide for everyone from consumers to designers and building-industry pros. More than 200 colour photographs and diagrams demystify LEDs and illustrate how to use them in every room of the house. QR codes direct readers to the most up-to-date information, and an index and glossary make it a handy reference book. Among other things, you will learn: . How many lumens per square foot are recommended in each room of a house, including closets and hallways . How to read LED labels . How different kinds of lampshades disperse light . How to balance light in a room . How to design home office lighting that is both energising and restful . How to choose the right LEDs and fixture materials for outdoor lighting . How to create fun and flexible landscape lighting AUTHORS: Charles Pavarini III, an architectural interior designer, has won 34 design awards, including a LUMEN Award, and serves the Designers Lighting Forum of New York. He teaches at Parsons-New School and lectures throughout the US. Pavarini partnered with Alora/Kuzco to design six lines of decorative lighting, launched in 2021 at Lightovation. He lives in New York City. During a career in publishing, Mervyn Kaufman edited home-related special-interest magazines, produced articles for home-design publications, and authored five books on home design. He lives in New York City. SELLING POINTS: . The only residential LED lighting guide written by an interior designer rather than a lighting designer, offering lay-friendly advice for creatively lighting every room of a home . Easy-to-understand diagrams, professional colour photography, QR codes for updated information, an index, and a glossary make this a handy and inspiring reference . Comprehensive enough for design and building professionals, yet accessible enough for consumers eager to improve the quality of light in their homes 186 colour and b/w images
