CRITICAL DESIGN ISSUES:
Direct Glare: Locate and aim sources to avoid direct glare. This is
especially important regarding lighting located above the bed to light
artwork. Luminaires in this position may cause direct glare for a person
reading bed.
Reflected Glare: For a person reading in bed, locate task lighting to avoid
reflected glare and veiling reflections on reading material.
Horizontal and Vertical 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
lighting (in the form of bedside lamps) allows flexibility and greater control
over the lighting energy use. Use task lighting for desks.
