CRITICAL DESIGN ISSUES:
Horizontal and vertical illuminance: Maintenance on vehicles may require
high lighting levels. This may be accomplished with high vertical south and
north facing clerestories. Electric lighting, such as linear fluorescent lamps
can provide direct and indirect lighting for the most uniform application
when daylight levels are insufficient.
Source/Task Eye Geometry: When maintaining vehicles, it is very
important to have the light coming from an angle that will not cause
extraneous shadows. Linear sources such as clerestories and linear
fluorescent lamps will minimize confusing shadows. Portable task lighting
is encouraged to increase light levels at the location of a particular task.
Color Appearance and Contrast: Maintaining vehicles demands excellent
color-rendering and contrast recognition such as for metal-to-metal parts
and components. The lighting system must provide good color rendering
and enhance contrast.
Target Horizontal Illuminance ( 10%): 500 lux (50 fc)
