Each work place deserves tailored lighting to suit it’s own application. 

Offices in general require a low glare even light distribution of between 300 and 500 lux, dependant on the intricacy of the task. This can be achieved in a number of ways, uplighting, downlighting, or a combination of both. Where VDUs are in abundance, a lower level of around 300 lux should be sought, and the glare should be further limited to conform with Category 2 or in extreme circumstances, Category 1. The down side to Category 2 lighting is that it tends to leave the wall and ceiling space looking dark. Some feature lighting should be considered to provide interest.      
      
Manufacturing areas should be evenly distributed between 300 and 500 lux, dependant on the task. Care should be taken to avoid stroboscopic effects where the machinery, and the lighting frequencies are running at the same harmonic. This can create the effect of moving machinery appearing stationary, which could be dangerous. 

The building fabric and structure of each project will lend themselves to a particular lighting concept. Consideration to running and maintenance costs should be built into the design.
