CRITICAL DESIGN ISSUES:
Direct Glare: Locate and aim sources to avoid direct glare. This is
especially important where luminaires are lighting a game table.
Reflected Glare: position luminaires to avoid reflected glare in any specular
surface, especially a TV screen. This type of glare can also occur with
glossy ready materials such as magazines.
Horizontal Illuminance (for reading): Task lighting needs to provide
adequate illuminance on reading material. The light level required for
reading should not be achieved with the ambient lighting alone. Task
