The room index and uniformity for the illuminance measurement of general and a task / an
activity should be calculated using the formula as shown in below [Guideline of Occupational
Safety and Health for Lighting at Workplace 2018] :
General Lighting
Room index
Length of the room (L) : 6.93m
Wide of the room (W) : 5.7m
Height of lighting above the working plane (Hm) : 1.87m
LX W
Room Index ¿
Hm (L+ W )
6.93 X 5.7
Room Index ¿
1.87(6.93+5.7)
= 1.67m
Uniformity, U
Uniformity, U = Emin / Eaverage
= 164.1 / 177.23
= 0.9259
A task / an activity
Uniformity, U
Uniformity, U = Emin / Eaverage
= 190.6 / 247.65
= 0.7696
The illuminance measurement for general lighting required 9 points. The total Lux/Fc is
1595.1, average Lux/Fc is 177.23, and uniformity is 0.9259. While, for illuminance
measurement for a task or an activity required 4 points. The total Lux/Fc is 990.6, average
Lux/Fc is 247.65 and uniformity is 0.7696. The recommended value Lux/Fc for general
lighting and a task or an activity is 500 based on the lighting requirement recommended for
various rooms and activities can be found in Appendix 1. To evaluate whether the
illuminance is adequate, the average illuminance is compared to the recommended
illuminance. The average value of the measurement for both general lighting and a task or an
activity is low than recommended illuminance.
