Illumination and lighting

Have they removed illumination as a topic from the EE Power Depth Module of the PE? I don't see it listed in Camara's EERM.

^There isn't a chapter on it in the EERM. However, it is listed in the subjects you may be tested on as part of the exam. It doesn't mean that you will have a lighting question on the test but it is fair game. There was at least one lighting question on the exam I took in April '07.

I had an old Yarborough (sp?) PE review book that a friend of mine lent me and it had a pretty decent lighting section in it. There's also a pretty good section on lighting in the Standard Handbook for Electrical Engineers.

Has Camara starting giving the exam now? I think I'd look at the exam topics on NCEES website. they are the ones that give the exam.

I've had to do a little site lighting over the years out of necessity. I just blindly plug stuff into Visual until it meets code. What are the good references for lighting. It couldn't hurt to have one in my back pocket.

I bought Dr. Blank's video course. He devotes 2hrs 45 min. to lighting, 15 minutes to NEC. I skipped the 2:45 of lighting - the last thing I need right now is a whole nother subject that I know nothing about. I'd like to find some reference book that has the common formulas - anything out there?

great point MIG!

VT, When I'm doing lighting for a streetscape, I give my cad layout to the local lighting sales rep and he has a guy that shows the illumination layout for my proposed locations, then I fix accordingly.

I love salesman sometimes.
