The various subjects relating to modern lighting technology are dealt with in depth in the Handbuch für Beleuchtung This is the standard reference work for everyone whose work involves questions of light and lighting. The manual, which is now in its 5th edition, is published by the Lighting Engineering Societies of Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the Netherlands (LiTG, LTAG, SLG, NSVV). This work has served as a source for many of the explanations provided in the DIALux Help texts without acknowledgement in the individual case.
