 Great information!
I got this book out of the library to read as a preparation for doing lighting on a low-budget movie I'm planning. Long story short, I devoured the book, then had to renew it so I could read it again and again.
People with big expensive lights will love the clear use of big expensive lighting equipment.
People who know nothing about lighting (like I did before I got this book) and have no money (like me) will love the low-budget chapter, and specifically the "spit and gaffer's tape" (author's words) list of equipment for those of us without deep pockets.

Everything You Need To Know, and Interesting Too! ( lax1982 )
This is an amazing book. The guy is a true pro and explains everything you need to know to get takes that look professional on the first try.
The book is really well written and organized. I blows by while you learn all the hows and whys of lighting video.
I recomend this to anyone who feels that they are not at the professional level with lighting yet. It will change your life.

 Enlightening book
Overall, I think this book is very easy to read. The author starts with the basic elements of lighting and builds on that foundation. I am using it with a lighting for video class that I am enrolled in, but would be very helpful by itself. The pictures really help to guide the process and set up your lighting scenerios properly.
