(Reprinted
from the book cover):
"Clients often require a clear picture of lighting design
– with realistic cost estimates – before a job
even gets on the drawing board. But what used to take many
hours can now be done in only one-sixth the time with this
guide to design and cost estimating for both indoor and
outdoor lighting projects.
With this book within reach, you can quickly select a fixture
according to esthetics, lumen output, visual comfort, energy
efficiency, and installation cost without going through
a number of catalogs. Easy-to-use charts then help you determine
the total number of fixtures you need for a job. For every
lighting figure, materials, labor, overhead, direct job
expense, and profit are all worked out and included in the
installed cost.

Included is a complete range of specification – grade
luminaires with incandescent, fluorescent, mercury vapor, metal
halide, low-pressure sodium and high-pressure sodium lamps. And
no matter how much luminaire and labor prices may change in the
future, this unique system of cost estimating will never go out
of date because a simple adjustment formula affiliated with the
luminaire price index and labor price variation guarantees realistic
estimates.
