Equipment and Systems – Lighting Systems on Ships

This pocketbook is based on an extract from the book titled Marine Electrical Technology and with reference to various guidelines for lighting systems on board ships. It thus deals with understanding generic systems on board ships. Electro Technical Officers and Marine Engineers onboard commercial ships and those undergoing training to qualify for these positions, will find this book useful.

The Pocket Book Series was introduced because there is a changing trend in the way books are read today. The new normal is that readers and students prefer to read specific, and not so voluminous content, in the least time, as time comes at a premium these days.
