The new guide replaces the 1994 Code for Interior Lighting, providing up-to-date information on all aspects of interior lighting with sections on the visual effects of lighting, lighting recommendations, equipment, lighting design and a calculation guide.

The visual effects of lighting section describes in detail the three main functions of lighting and how they can be accommodated in lighting design. These are health and safety, facilitating the performance of visual tasks and aiding the creation of the desired visual environment. There is also a section on lighting design which assists lighting designers through each stage of the design process including objectives, specification, planning and verification.

The Code for Lighting is also available on a CD-Rom which in addition includes html versions of the Lighting Guide 1: Industrial Lighting; Guide to fibre optic and and remote source lighting; Lighting Industry Federation lamp guide; Lighting Industry Federation technical statements; National Lighting Design Awards; CIBSE Lighting Division Factfiles; and addendum 2001 to CIBSE Lighting Guide 3.
