•Keep in mind that more light is not necessarily better. Human visual performance depends on light quality as well as quantity.

•Match the amount and quality of light to the performed function.

•Install task lights where needed and reduce ambient ligh telsewhere.

•Use energy-efficient lighting components, controls, and systems.

•Maximize the use of daylighting.
