CRITICAL DESIGN ISSUES:
Direct Glare: Light sources should not cause direct glare for a group of
people visiting in a living room, or for a single person reading. Indirect,
concealed sources provide for comfortable ambient light while eliminating
direct glare.
Reflected Glare: For a person reading, locate task lighting to avoid
reflected glare on reading material.
