CRITICAL DESIGN ISSUES:
Color Appearance (and Color Contrast): The color-rendering index of
fluorescent lamps should be high to render colors well and avoid a pale or
blue look to individual's faces.
Modeling of Faces or Objects: With light coming from multiple directions
and angles, faces and objects can be modeled well without harsh shadows.
Target Horizontal Illuminance ( 10%): 50 lux (5 fc), higher light level at
mirrors
