RebeccaB –
This is a great book for any plant lover. It covers more than lighting and is technical but not exhausting. I have read it more than once and it definitely drastically improved my knowledge and ability to sustain plants both indoors and out.
Mike –
As advertised

Well written and very informative. If anything, there’s too much information in this book! Better to have too much information than not enough. Highly recommend.

A lot of the info in the book is available for free on-line–but you have to dig around. More importantly, you have to know what kinds of questions to ask and when it comes to lighting and light, generally, most of us are so unfamiliar with how light works that we don’t know what we don’t know.
For example, knowing that incandescant lights are insufficient for growing plants, I assumed that plants simply don’t register such lights at all, but it turns out that for some species of plant, incandescents contribute to the sense of a photoperiod and I may be inadvertantly messing with an important environmental cue for certain bioprocesses like flowering when I force my plants to stay up late with me and my reading light.
This book presents all of this info in one place, whether you care about all of it or not (but if some parts don’t interest you now, they might later). It’s also great that it’s not written from the perspective of growing cannabis, since the biology of cannabis and the objectives of cannabis growers can diverge widely from those of pretty much every other plant one might want to grow indoors.
I can’t think of any other book out there like this, which is strange because light is probably THE most important component in plant care. Whether you plan on investing in grow lights or not, a dedicated reference on what light is, how to measure it, and what it means for plants is an incredibly useful tool for any would-be green thumb. And this book is fairly light (and quick) reading.

I was told this book was written from a scientist point of view, but so that a lay person could understand it. So true for the most part…some things were still over my head but I’d rather that then written too simply like talking down to a child. It works for an amateur like me or a professional gardener.
I skimmed at at first, then skimmed it page by page again to see the different areas of lighting it covered. Then I bookmarked the areas I’m especially interested in with post it notes. Now I’m working my way through word by word & bookmarking charts & info I want as references. I’m impressed by the depth of detail. I hate to buy a book only to find it barely covered the high points & most of it I already knew. When I buy an informational book I want my money’s worth. I want it to have depth like a college textbook but with info easily understood from the start. This is a book you can constantly refer back to learning more each time you read it.
My only complaint is that my copy arrived with a smear of something like reddish grease across the front cover. It washed right off with cleaner & hadn’t gotten on the pages so was still pristine. Not an author or publishing problem…just something went wrong in the warehouse when shipping it.
