Note Concerning LED Lighting – LEDs are an energy-efficient and long-lasting source of light. However, they create hot spots of focused light, which are very intense and bright. Hence, diffusers need to be used for an even distribution of the light.

It is extremely important to ensure maintenance is conducted under proper lighting conditions. This is true both for area lighting, that which illuminates the full working area, and task lighting, that directed toward specific work activities. Improper or insufficient lighting can lead to mistakes in work tasks or can simply increase the time required to do the work.

There are two types of glare – direct and indirect. Direct glare occurs when people look directly at light sources and Indirect glare is caused by light that is reflected to the eye from surfaces of the task area which are in the visual field.

Glare is the loss of visual performance or discomfort produced by an intensity of light in the visual field greater than the intensity of light to which the eyes are adapted.
