| Abstract |
The basic requirements for the comfortable and efficient performance of visual tasks are defined, and reference is made to the relevant Australian standards. In planning workplace illumination, the quality of lighting is as important as the quantity supplied. Causes of common complaints are given, and the influence of lighting level on the performance of tasks of varying detail size is discussed. The idea that older workers need more light than normal to maintain their efficiency is examined in some detail and shown to be a fallacy. |
