Abstract |
In order to avoid glare from paper and from computer terminals, the luminance level in offices should range from 200 to 400cd/m2 and illumination should be indirect. If the required illumination of 750lux in drafting rooms is supplied by ceiling-mounted lamps alone then the contrast on terminal screens is too low. Optimum lighting is achieved by a combination of ceiling-mounted lamps of 20W/m2 and direct light from individual lamps for each upright drawing board. |
