reference materials at the ldl library.

We have a comprehensive collection of technical references on architectural lighting. Included are the complete libraries from the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA), and the Lighting Research Center. We also have several lighting text books from various classes.

We subscribe to nearly all of the available lighting, architecture, and design-related periodicals. Below are links to pages of what we have in the Library, and any relevant web sites.
