Lighting Assessment
Workplace illumination and glare assessment for task performance and safety
Overview
Lighting assessment measures illumination levels (lux), uniformity ratios, glare indices, and colour rendering across work areas to ensure visual task requirements are met. Inadequate lighting increases accident risk, reduces productivity, and causes eye strain and headaches.
Measurements are taken at task level using calibrated lux meters, with readings compared against AS/NZS 1680 maintained illuminance recommendations for specific tasks and work areas. Glare assessment evaluates both direct glare from luminaires and reflected glare from work surfaces.
The assessment report provides illumination contour maps, deficiency identification, and recommendations for luminaire replacement, layout modification, natural light integration, and maintenance schedules to maintain design illumination levels.
