The American Cinematography Manual lists a lot of lamp types and phtotmetric data.

Film Lighting I find to be an interesting read.

Set Lighting Technicians handbook always comes highly recommended, but I have not personally read it.

Other resources include youtube videos or searching for images.

This book and this book are both very good. They were used in my cinematography course at my college a year or so ago.

favorites on my shelf:

 

"Masters of Light" by Schaefer and Salvato

A serious wealth of knowledge. Its focused in chapters on individual Dps. really really a great resource.

 

"Film Lighting: Talks with DPs and Gaffers" by Malkiewicz

Pretty good. a bit basic BUT good concepts inside. Good info from good working cinematographers.

 

and i will second /u/peterpeterpeter on "New Cinematographers" by Alex Ballinger. Great new (well, 15 years old now) people working with interesting ideas. Great pictures.


 

I personally really want to read Almendros' book next, as /u/cikmatt suggested.

Not exactly what you mentioned but "Film Lighting" by Malkiewicz is pretty much all interviews with DPs, gaffers and even some key grips. They talk a lot about the big films they've made in the 60s, 70s and 80s. Fantastic read!

Read this book. It's fantastic!

The Uva Grip Book is usually a popular reference.

Film Lighting
I have the 1986 version of this, but apparently it has been updated. I have no idea what they have done to update this though.
