Providing the right amount of light for a task can have a significant impact on efficiency, productivity, and safety. The amount of light needed to properly illuminate a task or process can vary by application.

The combination of luminaires selected should evenly illuminate the working plane and appropriately illuminate walls and ceilings in relation to the task illumination, so that a pleasant and comfortable environment is achieved.

In specific areas, increased directional lighting may be required to create a defined or more intimate environment.
