Examples of areas or tasks General public areas, reception areas, stairs,

corridors, circulation areas, lightly used office areas, etc.

Average office work (limited, occasional or less

demanding visual tasks)

More prolonged or difficult visual tasks (e.g., drafting, reading maps or

small type, etc.)

Especially difficult visual tasks - low contrast, small size

(e.g., electronic component assembly)

Quality control inspection

Lighting Level (Lux)

5-20

20-50

50-100

100-200

Over 200

Source: Based on IEEE recommendations

Some Recommended Lighting Levels

Taking the guesswork out of lighting measurements: a photocell light meter,placed on the work surface or other area being lighted, reads the amount oflight on footcandles or lux (1 footcandle = 1.76 lux)
