Lux Level Monitoring

Monitor the Lux level at 5 locations minimum in area. Take the Average of Lux Level Sampling Point reading. The Lux Level Shall not be less than: 350 ± 50 Lux for Production area, manufacturing area sampling and dispensing booth.

Depending on the type of activity demand of degree of illumination differs. For e.g.

•  If you are reading, drawing then it is better to maintain LUX levels around 200
• To maintain standard LUX level for office, where people work on computers, laptops it is better to increase illumination to 400-500 LUX
• In Shops, showrooms lex levels should be maintained at 500 LUX
• At Workshops lux level should be maintained at 600-700 LUX and for critical works like operation theatre in hospitals it is required to maintain LUX levels at 1000

Quality of Illumination in industry

Here Quality of illumination industry is referring to distribution of brightness in workplace area. It expects uniform brightness throughout the industrial area. Reduction in glares play major role in maintaining quality of illumination. Reflected glares can be minimized of eliminated using light source of low luminance or increasing the angle from line of vision. There should not be any harsh shadows in industry.
