Posted By Paulo Dinis Back here we use ISO 8995 or DIN 5035. Values are determined in function of work task demands, glare, and temp. color. ISO present´s an interesting ratio beetween luminance and illuminance, much more interesting in a "confort/ ergonomics " point of vue. DIN list minimum values. Paulo Dinis H&S Manager Portugal
