FIG 10-54. Typical general lighting layouts for a 23-foot by 32-foot classroom.
Detailed data on applicable lamps and luminaires and on related illumination levels
are given in Table 10-12.
Lecture Rooms
Two levels of illumination are quite desirable in lecture rooms, provided
supplementary illumination is provided for the lecture table or teacher's
rostrum. This permits the use of contrast when attention to the speaker
or his demonstrations is of primary importance, and a high level of general
lighting for quizzes and taking notes.
Libraries and Reading Rooms
Local lighting often is used in these rooms, especially when the student
is seated along long tables for reading. Assuming recommended levels of
illumination are provided, and proper brightness ratio maintained, either
localized-general or general lighting may be satisfactory. (See Fig. 10-55.)

If the area involved is small, brightness values up to twice those shown may be acceptable when all in-
terior surfaces have a high reflectance mat finish.
