Investigations on Improvements to Office Lighting
In an attempt to improve the quality of lighting in the office building, this investigation studied the possible use of directional fluorescent lighting as a means of introducing contrasts in a traditionally diffued lighting amsphere. In particular it was hoped that directional lighting could model the human face more pleasantly. The effectiveness of directional lighting was evaluated using four different colour temperatures.
The results suggested that directional lighting greatly improved the visual atmosphere of the office, while the appreciation of colour temperature was found to be equally pleasant at certain temperatures. Directional lighting with a 6000K fluorescent lamp was generally regarded as being unpleasant.
