CRITICAL DESIGN ISSUES:
Color Appearance (and Color Contrast): In order to identify colors of
clothes it is very important to provide fluorescent lighting with good color-
rendering properties.
Shadows: By providing an indirect component of the lighting system, it will
put some light into the lockers even when someone is standing if front of it.
If a downlight only system is used light may be blocked by the user and the
locker interior will be dark.
Target Horizontal Illuminance ( 10%): IESNA recommends 100 lux (10 fc).
Refer to UFC 4-740-02N for additional requirements.
DISCUSSION:
The ambient lighting for a locker room is low with little task lighting required, with the
exception of a higher light level at sinks. In addition to the scheme presented here,
linear fluorescent strips can also be mounted on top of the banks of lockers, uplighting
the ceiling in a completely indirect lighting system.
