1. The Purpose of Lighting Assessment

In simple terms, a lighting assessment is a careful examination of the lighting condition in the work
environment. It serves to:

a) identify the potential hazards arising from the work activity under the current lighting condition in
the workplace, such as insufficient illumination, excessive contrast, glare or flicker;
b) decide who may be harmed; and
c) evaluate the risks and decide whether improvement measures are needed to protect the
employees, including but not limited to the lighting provision.

2. Lighting Assessment by Measurement

Lighting measurement has the advantage of providing objective, accurate and comprehensive
information about the lighting condition. This information would be useful for the assessor to draw an
evidence-based conclusion and formulate specific improvement measures.

“Illuminance” is a common parameter to be measured in a lighting assessment. It refers to the

amount of light falling on a unit area of the work surface and its measurement unit is “lux (lx)”. It is
used to evaluate the adequacy of lighting for seeing an object

3. Illuminance Measuring Instrument

Illuminance is measured by a lux-meter, which is a handy instrument with a sensor for light
detection. The measured illuminance is directly displayed in lux(lx). In general, lux meters
conforming to internationally recognised specifications, such as BS 667:2005 and DIN 5032-7:1985

4. Illuminance Measuring Procedure

a) General Lighting is provided to give uniform illumination over the work area to meet the lighting
requirement for a work activity, e.g. office, reception or storage
b) In doing so, the work area should be divided into a number of equal small areas which should be
as nearly square as possible
c) After setting the small squares, the accessor may take illuminance measurement at the centre of
each square with a lux-meter
d) The result indicates whether the lighting is evenly distributed
e) In measuring illuminance at a task position, the following point should be noted:
a. Illuminance measurement should be taken at the height of the work plane. In case there is
no specified plane for the task, the measurement should be taken at a horizontal plane at
around 0.8m above the floor
b. The light sensor of the lux-meter should be placed on the work plane, which is normally a
horizontal plane.
f) The illuminance measurement data should be properly recorded included:
a. A description of the work area and the task/activity
b. The position of the measurement points
c. Details of the lighting fixtures including their position, type and size
