Lighting Assessment Services in Australia

Lighting assessment measures illuminance (lux) levels at task surfaces, walkways, and emergency exits using calibrated lux meters. Assessments evaluate both natural and artificial lighting against AS/NZS 1680 recommended illumination levels for specific task categories.

Beyond lux levels, assessments consider uniformity ratios, luminance contrasts, glare indices, and colour rendering properties that affect visual comfort and task performance. Specialised assessments may include screen-based work environments where reflected glare and luminance ratios between screens and surroundings are critical.

OHConnect lighting practitioners provide recommendations for luminaire selection, layout optimisation, task lighting, and daylight integration to meet both compliance and occupant comfort objectives.
