IESNA Lighting Design Guide
Orientation and simple visual tasks . Visual performance is largely unimportant. These tasks are found in public
spaces where reading and visual inspection are only occasionally performed. Higher levels are recommended
for tasks where visual performance is occasionally important
A Public Spaces 3 30
B Simple orientation for short visits 5 50
C Working spaces where simple visual tasks are performed 10 100
Common visual tasks. Visual performance is important. These tasks are found in commercial, industrial, and
residential applications. Recommended illuminance levels differ because of the characteristics of the visual task
being illuminated. Higher levels are recommended for visual tasks with critical elements of low contrast or
small size.
D Performance of visual tasks of high contrast and large size (8 point+) 30 300
E Performance of visual tasks of high contrast and small size (6 point) 50 500
or visual tasks of low contrast and large size.
F Performance of visual tasks of low contrast and small size. 100 1000
Special visual tasks. Visual performance is of critical importance. These tasks are very specialized, including
those with very small or very low contrast critical elements. Recommended illuminance levels should be
achieved with supplementary task lighting. Higher recommended levels are often achieved by moving the light
source closer to the task.
