Lighting and the office environment: a review
Abstract:
Lighting is one of several factors in an individual's working environment. The provision of 'good' lighting may assist in minimizing fatigue, which, if present, can inhibit a worker's efficiency. Fatigue must be addressed in many ways. For an operator of a visual display unit (VDU), lighting factors which may assist performance include a clear screen image without reflections or glare, appropriate ambient light and a view to look at There are also large differences in the needs of individuals of various ages. Recommendations about ambient lighting are conflicting. If tasks are screen-based only, lower levels than for general tasks are advocated. Appropriate lighting for any one situation must be determined after a thorough analysis of the task and the individual.
