It is necessary to know the light intensity in different places. As we all know, each place should have its own lighting according to its capacity and space. It is normal that the light intensity required in hospitals is different from administrative offices and schools.
If we do not follow the lighting tips of each place, the beauty of the place will be reduced and the work of the employees may be disturbed. For example, a surgeon in the operating room must have enough light for a better surgery.
The right amount of light in the work environment prevents eye fatigue and makes your work easier.
Also, by knowing this, you can correctly implement the type of light, the location of the light and the amount of light.
In the following, we will learn more about this in some places.
