CRITICAL DESIGN ISSUES:
Direct Glare: Because the luminaires are located relatively high above the
task plane, direct glare will most likely be avoided. Fluorescent lamps
distribute brightness over a large area (larger than metal halide lamps),
further reducing glare from the luminaire.
Flicker (and Strobe): This strobe effect is critical when working with high-
speed machinery. If the hangar will be used as a shop with any kind of
rotating tool, high quality electronic ballasts need to be specified to avoid a
stroboscopic effect.
Light Distribution on Surfaces: With a small indirect component from the
luminaires, the ceiling above will have some surface brightness, reducing
contrast between ceiling and luminaire, improving visual comfort in the
space.
