Posted By Derek Rooney CMIOSH MIIRSM Morning all Looking for a little bit of guidance if possible, i work in motor vehicle repair and currently looking at replacing our lighting which is currently very poor. I've been trying to find what the minimum lux level would be for a vehicle workshop - i've contacted the HSE for guidance and of course they refer me to HSG(G)38 lighting at work. From this it seems our lux levels can be anywhere between 100 and 500 lux - i'm looking for some clear advice on this as there is a huge difference between 100 & 500 lux. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks Dez

Posted By Chris Pope Believe any lighting in the service pit would need to be ATEX compliant. We used to use a heavier duty bulb in wandering lights but I can't remember what it was called.
