Notes:
This paper presents the views of 16 fully sighted people who carried out typical office tasks under eight different lighting systems. This work is taken from a much larger study, primarily involved with the lighting of office tasks for visually impaired people. Non-parametric statistical tests show there are significant differences of opinion about the different lighting systems in terms of adequacy and comfort. Whilst there is a general trend in the results which suggest that increasing task illuminance and wall illuminance is preferred by the test subjects, other issues are identified which can influence aspects of lighting quality.
